Njobati, a young woman from Cameroon, faced a challenging journey when she moved from her English-speaking area to a French-speaking area of the country to attend university. The sharp differences between these areas, once part of the British and French empires, made it difficult for her to fit in, which led her to examine her own identity—who she truly was.
Seeking guidance, she turned to her grandfather who also felt disconnected from his own culture. He expressed sadness about what the Nso had lost both culturally and materially, including Ngonnso statue. Ngonnso was the founder of Nso dating back to the 14th Century, whose statue was an important cultural symbol for the Nso. However, it was taken by the Germans in 1902 and has been housed in Berlin’s Ethnological Museum ever since.
Inspired by her grandfather’s desire and saddened by the loss of culture, Njobati made a promise to bring back the statue. She believed it would not only achieve her grandfather’s wish but connect her with her Nso heritage again.
Njobati did many researches about the statue and former unsuccessful attempts. She realized that restitution (归还) was actually about facing the colonial ( 殖民主义的) past. Njobati decided to try differently. To gather support online and offline, Njobati began a grassroots campaign. She organized meetings in community halls and churches, met people one-on-one, and used the power of social media.Through Twitter, she established contact with the Ethnological Museum.
Njobati’s tireless efforts paid off. She was told that a decision about Ngonnso statue was coming, which was an important moment for her.
“Finally, this is happening. Not just for me, but for the Nso people, and for Cameroon,” She cried. “This also lends a hand to other communities that are seeking justice for stolen culture relics.”
24. What made Njobati decide to bring back the Ngonnso statue
A. Her interest in colonial history.
B. Her grandfather’s identity problem.
C. Her desire to reconnect with Nso culture.
D. Her experience in attending university.
25. What did Njobati do to gain support for her campaign
A. She did wide and complete researches.
B. She turned to her grandfather for guidance.
C. She contacted the Ethnological Museum directly.
D. She organized meetings and using social media.
26. What does “this” refer to in the last paragraph
A. The fight for the statue. B. The promise she made.
C. The grassroots campaign. D. The return of the statue.
27. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. A fight against colonialism. B. A cultural fighter.
C. A promise for grandpa. D. A stolen cultural symbol.
C
The topic of China’s “slash youth” has fueled heated debate on social media recently, drawing attention to the diverse pursuits of the younger generation.
The slash youth, which could also be called slashers or slash-generation, means those who refuse to be defined or bound by just one personal identity. They are keen to present themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities, such as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and band player. Rather than material comforts, they pursue meaningful achievements.
A study on “slash youth” published in the China Youth Research magazine analyses the background of this phenomenon (现象): with part of modern society’s structured organization and stability norms broken, flexible labour markets and structural unemployment have emerged, eliminating the sense of job security (安全感) of the young people in employment. Young people also face the dilemma of self-actualization, including the sense of powerlessness, lost sense of value and lack of self-identity in the profession, which forces them to re-find the meaning of work.
“The ‘slash life’ shows that our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive and it welcomes everyone’s self fulfillment,” said Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher from Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences. The researcher added that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays, the “slash life” of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy, just as animation (动漫) culture affected the market.
28. What can be inferred about the mindset of “slash youth”
A. Their final goal is to get a stable job.
B. They are unconcerned about losing the job.
C. They are adventurous and value different experiences.
D. They follow established career paths, like nurse or teacher.
29. What leads to the development of “slash youth”
A. Stable employment situations.
B. The pursuit of wealth and social status.
C. The breakdown of traditional job security.
D. The pursuit of personal growth in a single profession.
30. What does Shi Yanrong think about the “slash life”
A. It reflects society’s variety and openness.
B. It shows that society is willing to pay for people’s interests.
C. It indicates people’s lack of focus due to too many interests.
D. It would absolutely affect the market as animation culture does.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To analyze the “slash youth” phenomenon and its impacts.
B. To ask for a balance between traditional career paths and new trends.
C. To provide a detailed analysis of the slash youth population.
D. To promote a particular lifestyle while also mentioning its limitations.
D
People today are much cleverer than they were in previous generations. A study of 72 countries found that average IQs rose by 2.2 points per decade between 1948 and 2020. This stunning change is known as the Flynn Effect after James Flynn, the scientist who first noticed it. Flynn was initially confused by his discovery. It took millions of years for the brain to evolve. How could it improve so rapidly over just a few decades
The answer is largely that people were becoming better nourished and mentally stimulated. Just as muscles need food and exercise to grow strong, the brain also needs the right nutrients and activity to develop. Kids today are much less likely to be malnourished (营养不良的) than they were in past decades, and more likely to go to school. Yet there is no room for satisfaction. In poor and middle-income countries, many children are still too ill-fed to reach the cognitive potential.
The world grows enough food, but several obstacles stop nutrients getting into young brains. One is war. Families sheltering around cannot risk out to plant or harvest, and some governments intentionally starve certain regions into submission. Another is disease. Hungry children fall sick more often, and the energy they spend battling bugs cannot be devoted to growing brains. Poverty is also a big part of the problem. But global data from UNICEF, an aid agency, show that although half the children with very restricted diets (including no more than two food groups) are indeed from poor families, the other half are not. Other factors, such as poor eating habits, are to blame as well. Research about how to overcome the obstacles is needed.
Some argue that human intelligence will matter less as people entrust (委托) their thinking to artificial intelligence. To assume this would be as foolish as betting 100 years ago that the invention of the car would make it unnecessary to walk. In the workplace, human intelligence and AI will probably assist each other. And brains are for the joy of thinking, as well as earning money. Steven Pinker of Harvard University calls human intelligence “a tailwind in life”, helping people adapt rationally to new challenges or a changing environment. For a modest price, the next generation can have a stronger tailwind. It would not only be wrong to refuse them the tailwind. It would be stupid.
32. What can we learn about the Flynn Effect
A. Average IQs have risen fast in the past decades. B. Intelligence has been stable across generations.
C. People now are as intelligent as their ancestors. D. Better education leads to improved physical health.
33 What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean
A. The Flynn Effect has reached its peak. B. Global problems continue despite IQ gains.
C. Society values human intelligence less. D. Malnutrition is merely a result of poverty.
34. What does the author think of artificial intelligence
A. Useless. B. Unique. C. Beneficial. D. Ineffective.
35. What is the best title for the passage
A. Stages of IQ Development B. Secrets to Rising IQs Worldwide
C. Insights Into Global IQ Trend D. Influence of the Flynn Effect

Njobati, a young woman from Cameroon, faced a challenging journey when she moved from her English-speaking area to a French-speaking area of the country to attend university. The sharp differences between these areas, once part of the British and French empires, made it difficult for her to fit in, which led her to examine her own identity—who she truly was.
Seeking guidance, she turned to her grandfather who also felt disconnected from his own culture. He expressed sadness about what the Nso had lost both culturally and materially, including Ngonnso statue. Ngonnso was the founder of Nso dating back to the 14th Century, whose statue was an important cultural symbol for the Nso. However, it was taken by the Germans in 1902 and has been housed in Berlin’s Ethnological Museum ever since.
Inspired by her grandfather’s desire and saddened by the loss of culture, Njobati made a promise to bring back the statue. She believed it would not only achieve her grandfather’s wish but connect her with her Nso heritage again.
Njobati did many researches about the statue and former unsuccessful attempts. She realized that restitution (归还) was actually about facing the colonial ( 殖民主义的) past. Njobati decided to try differently. To gather support online and offline, Njobati began a grassroots campaign. She organized meetings in community halls and churches, met people one-on-one, and used the power of social media.Through Twitter, she established contact with the Ethnological Museum.
Njobati’s tireless efforts paid off. She was told that a decision about Ngonnso statue was coming, which was an important moment for her.
“Finally, this is happening. Not just for me, but for the Nso people, and for Cameroon,” She cried. “This also lends a hand to other communities that are seeking justice for stolen culture relics.”
24. What made Njobati decide to bring back the Ngonnso statue
A. Her interest in colonial history.
B. Her grandfather’s identity problem.
C. Her desire to reconnect with Nso culture.
D. Her experience in attending university.
25. What did Njobati do to gain support for her campaign
A. She did wide and complete researches.
B. She turned to her grandfather for guidance.
C. She contacted the Ethnological Museum directly.
D. She organized meetings and using social media.

C. The grassroots campaign. D. The return of the statue.
27. What can be a suitable title for the passage

The topic of China’s “slash youth” has fueled heated debate on social media recently, drawing attention to the diverse pursuits of the younger generation.
The slash youth, which could also be called slashers or slash-generation, means those who refuse to be defined or bound by just one personal identity. They are keen to present themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities, such as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and band player. Rather than material comforts, they pursue meaningful achievements.
A study on “slash youth” published in the China Youth Research magazine analyses the background of this phenomenon (现象): with part of modern society’s structured organization and stability norms broken, flexible labour markets and structural unemployment have emerged, eliminating the sense of job security (安全感) of the young people in employment. Young people also face the dilemma of self-actualization, including the sense of powerlessness, lost sense of value and lack of self-identity in the profession, which forces them to re-find the meaning of work.
“The ‘slash life’ shows that our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive and it welcomes everyone’s self fulfillment” said Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher from Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences. The researcher added that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays, the “slash life” of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy, just as animation (动漫) culture affected the market.
28. What can be inferred about the mindset of “slash youth”
A. Their final goal is to get a stable job.
B. They are unconcerned about losing the job.
C. They are adventurous and value different experiences.
D. They follow established career paths, like nurse or teacher.
29. What leads to the development of “slash youth”
A. Stable employment situations.
B. The pursuit of wealth and social status.
C. The breakdown of traditional job security.
D. The pursuit of personal growth in a single profession.
30. What does Shi Yanrong think about the “slash life”
A. It reflects society’s variety and openness.
B. It shows that society is willing to pay for people’s interests.
C. It indicates people’s lack of focus due to too many interests.
D. It would absolutely affect the market as animation culture does.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To analyze the “slash youth” phenomenon and its impacts.
B. To ask for a balance between traditional career paths and new trends.
C. To provide a detailed analysis of the slash youth population.
D. To promote a particular lifestyle while also mentioning its limitations.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. A
D
People today are much cleverer than they were in previous generations. A study of 72 countries found that average IQs rose by 2.2 points per decade between 1948 and 2020. This stunning change is known as the Flynn Effect after James Flynn, the scientist who first noticed it. Flynn was initially confused by his discovery. It took millions of years for the brain to evolve. How could it improve so rapidly over just a few decades
The answer is largely that people were becoming better nourished and mentally stimulated. Just as muscles need food and exercise to grow strong, the brain also needs the right nutrients and activity to develop. Kids today are much less likely to be malnourished (营养不良的) than they were in past decades, and more likely to go to school. Yet there is no room for satisfaction. In poor and middle-income countries, many children are still too ill-fed to reach the cognitive potential.
The world grows enough food, but several obstacles stop nutrients getting into young brains. One is war. Families sheltering around cannot risk out to plant or harvest, and some governments intentionally starve certain regions into submission. Another is disease. Hungry children fall sick more often, and the energy they spend battling bugs cannot be devoted to growing brains. Poverty is also a big part of the problem. But global data from UNICEF, an aid agency, show that although half the children with very restricted diets (including no more than two food groups) are indeed from poor families, the other half are not. Other factors, such as poor eating habits, are to blame as well. Research about how to overcome the obstacles is needed.
Some argue that human intelligence will matter less as people entrust (委托) their thinking to artificial intelligence. To assume this would be as foolish as betting 100 years ago that the invention of the car would make it unnecessary to walk. In the workplace, human intelligence and AI will probably assist each other. And brains are for the joy of thinking, as well as earning money. Steven Pinker of Harvard University calls human intelligence “a tailwind in life”, helping people adapt rationally to new challenges or a changing environment. For a modest price, the next generation can have a stronger tailwind. It would not only be wrong to refuse them the tailwind. It would be stupid.
32. What can we learn about the Flynn Effect
A. Average IQs have risen fast in the past decades. B. Intelligence has been stable across generations.
C. People now are as intelligent as their ancestors. D. Better education leads to improved physical health.
33. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean
A. The Flynn Effect has reached its peak. B. Global problems continue despite IQ gains.
C. Society values human intelligence less. D. Malnutrition is merely a result of poverty.
34. What does the author think of artificial intelligence
A. Useless. B. Unique. C. Beneficial. D. Ineffective.
35. What is the best title for the passage
A. Stages of IQ Development B. Secrets to Rising IQs Worldwide
C. Insights Into Global IQ Trend D. Influence of the Flynn Effect
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. C
