There is a curious love triangle that sits at the center of the new documentary Fire of Love. It’s between a man, a woman and a volcano. Well, all of them are volcanoes.
Their names might not be especially well-known today, but in the 1970s and 80s, French scientists Katia Krafft and Maurice Krafft were very famous for their photographs and writings about the volcanoes. When they died in 1991 on Mount Unzen in Japan, their deaths were covered globally. But their story has somewhat faded in the public memory in the past three decades, though Werner Herzog did spotlight them in his 2016 documentary Into the Inferno.
The Kraffs, who first bonded over Mount Etna and Mount Stromboli and were married in 1970, witnessed about 140 eruptions on every continent except Antarctica and won an Emmy for their National Geographic documentary Mountains of Fire. They would famously drop everything to get to an active volcano, and were often the first on site. They were also known for their willingness to get dangerously close.
Filmmaker Sara Dosa once met the Kraffts while making an earlier film about Iceland many years ago. In 2020, with the help of Image’ Est, a French museum, and Maurice Krafft’s brother, Bertrand Krafft, Dosa and her team were able to get access to over 180 hours of footage shot by the Kraffts. So Dosa decided to make something about the Kraffts in the true spirit of the Kraffts.
“We wanted to let them play themselves. We see them as the authors of their own story.” Dosa said. “This is a co-creation, shot（拍摄） by them and starring them. We’re just stringing（串连） together the pieces of their life for the audience to connect with.”
However, Fire of Love is anything but a filmed Wikipedia（维基百科） page. Dosa and her team have drawn on the techniques of French New Wave films to help shape the style of their film, including playful multiple screens.
24．Where did Katia Krafft and Maurice Krafft pass away
A．On Mount Etna. B．On Mount Stromboli. C．On Mount Unzen. D．On Mount Krakatoa.
25．Why were the Kraffts considered as volcanoes
A．They were enthusiastic about studying volcanoes.
B．They were well-known for their short-lived marriage.
C．Their deaths were related to the biggest volcano.
D．Their love story appeared in many volcano books.
26．Who directed the film Fire of Love
A．Bertrand Krafft. B．Sara Dosa. C．Werner Herzog. D．Katia Krafft.
27．What is the text
A．A love story. B．A film review. C．A documentary. D．A biography.
C
Just as our bodies produce waste every day—which is why we need to shower and use the toilet —our brains produce harmful waste proteins. But how can our brains “shower” themselves
A 2013 study found the answer. Researchers at the US University of Rochester studied the brains of mice and discovered that they cleaned themselves while the mice slept. A kind of fluid in the brain, called cerebral spinal fluid（CSF 脑髓液）, was found to increase dramatically during sleep, washing away waste proteins that had been building up between brain cells in waking hours.
“This study shows that the brain has different functional states when asleep and when awake,” Maiken Nedergaard, the lead researcher, told NBC News. It also explains why we can’t think clearly after a sleepless night while a good night’s sleep leave s us feeling sharp and refreshed.
Now a new study, published on October 31 in Science, digs a little deeper into our brains’ self-cleaning procedure. Instead of mice, this time humans were the test subjects.
Researchers at Boston University, US, monitored the brain waves of 13 healthy adults who were sleeping, using accelerated FMRI, which is capable of recording faster changes inside the brain than a regular FMRI machine. They found that every 20 seconds, blood flowed out of the brain, making room for a large amount of CSF to come in and “clean”. This cycle coincided（巧合） with the rhythm of the brains’ slow waves — an electrical activity that happens when we’re in deep sleep.
It’s still unknown how these brain activities are connected. But the me re fact that they are connected is exciting enough, since it allows researchers to piece together possible new explanations for misunderstood diseases.
For example, slow-wave sleep has been proven to play a role in strengthening our memories. This may explain why people with Alzheimer（阿尔兹海默症） often have fewer and weaker slow brainwaves. Based on this new study, there could be one more explanation for diseased brains: They are not clean.
Nedergaard, leader of the 2013 study, is also excited about the new findings. “Maybe the most important take-home message is that sleep is a serious thing,” she told Scientific American. “You really need to sleep to keep a healthy brain because it links electrical activity to a practical housekeeping ‘function’.”
28．Why is the body waste mentioned at the beginning of the passage
A．To show the similarity between body and brain.
B．To explain the main components of brain waste.
C．To introduce the topic of passage through comparison.
D．To remind us of the necessity of regular body cleaning.
29．What can we learn from the passage
A．Slow brainwaves are caused by the brain cleaning process.
B．The diseased brains break down for not cleaning themselves.
C．Sleep is the most important factor for improving our memory.
D．Slow brainwaves and brain cleaning occur with identical frequency（频率）.
30．Why are the findings of the new study important
A．They are based on more advanced technology.
B．They give us new insight into some brain diseases.
C．They confirm the connection between brain activities.
D．They reveal the process of brains cleaning themselves.
31．What is the passage mainly about
A．The self-cleaning function of human brains.
B．The importance of sleep at night for humans.
C．The cause and possible cures of diseased human brains.
D．The different states of human brains at daytime and night.
D
Be it sugar or social media, the response in our brain is the same: It produces a “feel-good” chemical called dopamine. It first brings about pleasure, but it doesn’t last very long. It is then followed by pain so that we have to search for the pleasurable things again.
“This cycle of pleasure and pain made sense in the time of early humans, when we had to constantly search for our basic needs—food, water, shelter,” says Dr. Anna Lembke, a Stanford Medical School researcher. “But our brains weren’t adjusted to put out the ‘fire of dopamine’ caused by pleasurable things that are so easily available in modern life.”
In addition, when we’re repeatedly exposed to pleasure-producing things, we’re not able to take joy in the same rewards. Instead, we need stronger and stronger stimulus（刺激） just to feel good. Otherwise, the cycle will lead us to anxiety, depression and many other problems.
“This is a universal problem—not one limited to those struggling with the disease of addiction. If we want to stay mentally healthy, we must rethink how to break the cycle in a dopamine-overloaded world,” says Lembke.
Her suggestions for the addicts are as follows.
Take a 30-day break from anything that we rely on for pleasure. This doesn’t mean going cold turkey forever. But this first month is key to breaking the pleasure-pain cycle and it’s a lot easier to cut out an addictive behavior entirely at first. Then re-introduce the pleasurable things little by little, like just a few bites of ice cream at a time or just one hour online a night.
Another strategy is to create physical distance between us and our addiction. That could mean just removing the addictive thing from our personal space. For someone who’s addicted to video games, that could mean a separate laptop for work and one for play.
“In a time of abundance, we have to strike a pleasure-pain balance, which means intentionally avoiding pleasure sometimes and seeking the kind of purposeful pain that keeps us healthy, such as exercise,” Lembke says, “By resetting reward pathways we will eventually be a lot happier. It’s not easy, but it’s well worth doing in the long term.”
32．What can we know about dopamine from the text
A．It has always been harmful to humans. B．It can lead to a lasting good feeling.
C．It can be caused by anything available. D．It gives us less joy for the same rewards.
33．What do the underlined words “going cold turkey” probably mean
A．Abandoning. B．Waiting. C．Cooking. D．Repeating.
34．What does Dr. Ann a Lembke suggest we do in the long term
A．Avoid all the pleasure in life. B．Set a strict limit on painful things.
C．Change reward pathways. D．Expose ourselves to repeated rewards.
35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Ways to Live With Dopamine in Peace. B．The Need to Strike a Pleasure-pain Balance.
C．Strategies for Making the Most of Modem Life. D．Tips on Getting Rid of Social Media Addiction.

Here are five common mistakes distance learners make.
Choosing the wrong school. 36 “Diploma mill” schools charge unsuspecting students thousands of dollars for worthless degrees, whereas trustworthy schools are able to give their students diploma they are proud of. Before you enroll in an online school, do some research to find out what type of program, resource and support will be provided.
Putting off things. Many students never finish their degrees because they lack the self-discipline and motivation to sit down and get their work done on a daily basis. 37 Many students have found it beneficial to create a deadline for receiving their degrees and set small monthly, weekly, and daily goals that will allow them to reach that deadline.
Failing to connect with their peers and professors. 38 Building meaningful relationships with your peers and professors can allow you to learn more, stay motivated, and have a way to express your own understanding of the subject matter. So stay connected through message boards, chat rooms, email, and other virtual resources.
Scaring potential employers. More and more people are recognizing the validity（有效性） of online education. 39 Some potential employers may see warning signs if you announce that you have earned your degree through the Internet. Even if you attend a famous school, avoid calling attention to the fact that your studies are done online.
40 There’s a lot of online material available to help out students. Make sure you know where you can get the help you need. Be aware of the general resources such as virtual dictionaries, online books, and resources that relate to your specialized subject matter.
A．Paying too much.
B．Paying no attention to online resources.
C．However, be aware that it is not completely accepted by all people.
D．Many students attend an online course feeling as if it is very easy.
E．Selecting the right school is the biggest difficulty that distance learners face.
F．If you often put off your work, set some specific goals for yourself and stick to them.
G．One of the most rewarding experiences in education is learning through teamwork.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For nearly twenty years, my life was about two things: smoking cigarettes and trying to quit smoking cigarettes.
When I married Cassie ten years ago, I threw my pack of cigarettes and swore I was quitting.
When we bought our first house eight years ago, I celebrated it by pulverizing（粉碎） my pack of cigarettes with my shoe heel.
When my son, Cole, was born five years ago, I threw my cigarettes into a garbage can. I even began working out—running days a week, rain or shine. I lost forty pounds but I never was able to outrun those cigarettes.
You know cigarettes are deadly—but every cell in your body screams out for that nicotine.
Then, one day the willpower I had lacked arrived from most unexpected place: an unclouded corner of my son’s mind.
As Cassie was driving Col e home from kindergarten, they passed a cemetery （墓地）, which made the boy ask: “Mom, what’s under tombstones ”
Realizing there was no delicate answer, she frankly said, “Dead people.”
“Is that where Dad’s going to be because he smokes ” Cole asked. “I hope not,” Cassie replied. “Dad shouldn’t smoke,” Cole said, his voice rising in anger. He kicked the back of the front seat. “Dad’s stupid for smoking. When I’m twenty, he’ll be dead.”
Cassie was speechless, shocked by Cole’s innocence. Then, just as quickly as he had exploded, Cole calmed down. “I hope he comes back as a ghost and talks to me,” he said peacefully. “Like Obi-Wan Kenobi did to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars.”
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右：
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para 1: When I arrived home from work that evening, Cassie recounted the story to me. ________________________

Run for Half an Hour Every Day
Dear fellow students,
As we all know, the students in our school are under immerse pressure and their physical condition is greatly challenged. As president of the Students’ Union, I’d like to call on all the students in our school to run for half an hour every day. The reasons are as follows.
Firstly, running can make our body strong and lighten us up, refilling the energy to study more efficiently. Besides, fierce competition and study burden lead to students’ great anxiety, which will be relieved by running every day. Just have a try and you will find that it really works if you are anxious. Lastly, running is very easy to do as you can run anytime and anywhere. So whenever you have time, just leave your chair and go out to run.
It’s high time that you started running from now on and I’m sure your whole world will be brightened.

When I arrived home from work that evening, Cassie recounted the story to me. She stared right into my eyes and said: “Cole’s come to terms with the fact that you won’t be around. And if he can only have you as a ghost, that’s what he’ll take.” The words were a simple truth. Smoking could only lead to one conclusion, and when they placed me under that tombstone, life would have to go on without me. If I couldn’t even fool my own five-year-old kid, why was I continuing to try to fool myself
Later that evening, I found Cole and said: “Cole, I’m going to quit smoking, but I need your help.” The seconds ticked by as he hatched his plan. Finally, he spoke. “Okay. Here’s what we’ll do: every morning and every night, I’ll tell you not to smoke.” Every time I had an urge to smoke, I fought it off with thoughts of tombstones and Obi-Wan Kenobi and a little boy trying desperately to help his old man out of a jam. So here I am, checking off the days that I’ve been cigarette-free. I know I have promise to keep and people to love.
