Even at 80, Mei Jingtian, still patrols（巡逻） the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall. With over 40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety.
He lives in Shixia village near the 8．6-kilometer part. Shixia villagers have a deep love for the wall. Mei remembers when he ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on the large building as a child. However in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter.
In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started, with Mei’s effort encouraging many, and it was quickly picked up by villagers in Shixia. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more of them returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019．“WhenI was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.”
Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined.
Even though there is progress, the Shixiaguan part still remains closed to the public. “My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.”
24．What made Mei Jingtian decide to protect the Great Wall
A．The dream of being a hero. B．The influence of his friends.
C．Poor condition of the Great Wall. D．Encouragement from the villagers.
25．What do the underlined words “picked up” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Recognised. B．Finished. C．Managed. D．Developed.
26．Which of the following best describes Mei Jingtian
A．Careful and confident. B．Kind-hearted and humorous.
C．Creative and curious. D．Responsible and strong-willed.
27．What does the text mainly talk about
A．A lifelong guardian of the Great Wall. B．Villagers’ deep love for the Great Wall.
C．The progress in protecting the Great Wall. D．A practical Great Wall protection program.

In the first half of the twentieth century, Karl von Frisch, a scientist who studied animal behavior, changed our impression of honey bees by discovering the “waggle （摇摆） dance”, which may not be considered as a language, but a form of communication. It was one of our first understandings that bees do something like what we call “thinking”.
Clint Perry, a scientist at Queen Mary University of London, has spent much time studying how bees think. He gave bees a choice between landing on a place above a black bar（横木） or a place below it. If they landed above the bar, they would find a delicious sugary drink. If they chose the place below the black bar, they found a terrible drink. He made the test harder or easier by moving the landing places farther from or closer to the black bar. But bees also had the choice of avoiding the task if they weren’t sure they would succeed. Perry found that bees avoided the test when it was difficult and gave it a try when it was easy.
Perry pointed out that we can’t know for sure from tests like this whether bees are actually judging by their own knowledge or simply quitting the task because of an unhappy connection with the terrible drink.
Scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. No one is suggesting that bees are as smart as humans, at least not when it comes to things like memory and language. But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information.
We may also have to rethink how we view the rest of the insect world. There are a lot of small creatures （生物） flying around in the garden. Who knows what those tiny minds might be able to do
28．Why does the author mention Karl von Frisch in the first paragraph
A．To introduce a famous scientist. B．To change the impression of bees.
C．To show early study of bees’ thinking. D．To stress the importance of bees’ study.
29．How did Clint Perry make the task difficult
A．By setting more choices. B．By giving challenging orders.
C．By making landing places farther. D．By reducing the sweet level of the drinks.
30．What is Clint Perry’s attitude to the result of the research
A．Supportive. B．Uncaring. C．Doubtful. D．Uncertain.
31．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Insects’ thinking ability will improve. B．The number of small insects will increase.
C．Study on insects’ brains has a long way to go. D．Insects’ life habits will be a focus of research.
D
Little kids are much more likely to remember a thing that is unimaginable to them, a team reports in the journal PNAS.
Feigenson, an expert at Johns Hopkins University and Aimee Stahl of The College of New Jersey did an experiment that included 335 2-and 3-year-olds. “We wanted to know how little kids think about possibilities,” Feigenson says.
Their first challenge was getting the attention of kids that young, so the scientists designed a special machine filled with toys. It turns out that the chance to put a little coin in a machine and get a prize is a drive to kids. When the little kids got a toy from the machine, the scientists told them it had a made-up name: Blick. Later, they were asked to point to the Blick among many toys. When the little kids knew the transparent（透明的） machine held Blicks, they were unsurprised by their prize and usually forgot its name. This was true even when the machine had only one or two Blicks among lots of other toys.
But the little kids behaved very differently when they got a Blick from a machine that appeared to have none,a seemingly impossible thing. Often, “kids’ eyes get wide, and their mouths open, and they look at their mom in surprise that this has happened,” Feigenson says. Moreover, when little kids met this completely unexpected result, they usually remembered the Blick’s name. They are really driven to learn.
The results further prove that even very young children learn better when they meet the unexpected, says Andrew Shtulman, an expert at Occidental College. “It causes a level of surprise that leads to more attention, better understanding of the things, and better continuous attention of those things later on,” he adds, “If you want children to learn something deeply and for a long time, you go against their expectations before introducing that information.”
32．What does the experiment focus on
A．Little kids’ imagination. B．Little kids’ rememberance.
C．Little kids’ curiosity about learning. D．Little kids’ behaviour to possibilities.
33．What does the underlined word “this” refer to in paragraph 3
A．They had no interest in the result. B．They had no confidence in winning.
C．They had difficulty in concentrating. D．They did well in telling the difference.
34．How did little kids find the machine without Blicks
A．They were amazed. B．They were annoyed.
C．They were satisfied. D．They were frightened.
35．What is Andrew Shtulman’s suggestion on children’s learning
A．Offer information directly. B．Teach them as they expect.
C．Provide more teaching methods. D．Surprise the kids to learn better.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
I have a terrible sense of direction, so without the guide of GPS— the Global Positioning System— not only would I be lost, but also I’d feel lost. 36 . If you want to get confidence on the road or be less dependent on GPS to get around, here are some steps you can take to improve your sense of direction.
Turn off your GPS and get lost on purpose. Next time you go for a walk, go down a road you’ve not walked and see where it ends up or take the beautiful road to your favorite restaurant or coffee shop. 37 . The goal is to get comfortable with getting lost and moving through the world without a map.
Use landmarks to guide yourself. Not sure if you’re north, south, east or west from home 38 . The perfect landmark is large and far away, like a big sign, a highway, or a bridge which can serve as a better mark of direction.
Use memory tricks（技巧） to remember where you are. People with a good sense of direction know their streets. If you have no sense of direction, you can try some expert methods. Keep street names and roads in mind by using stories and tricks to lock things in. 39 .
These methods may not turn you into an expert guide able to find your way out of being lost. 40 . And you can use them to gain a better sense of ownership over your environment.
A．Driving with GPS brings trouble sometimes.
B．Pick landmarks in town to help guide yourself.
C．But they can reduce any anxiety about getting lost.
D．It gives you an idea of how the streets are connected.
E．Then see if you can make it back home without a GPS.
F．This is especially helpful when street names are hard to know.
G．However, dependence on GPS can lead to a narrower view of your environment.

My daughter Gina was in Mrs. Melton’s fourth-grade class. After only a month in school, she began to come home from time to time asking for pencils, crayons（蜡笔）, paper, etc. At first I just provided whatever she needed, never questioning her.
After ongoing requests for objects that should have easily lasted a mere six weeks of fourth grade, I became worried and asked her, “Gina, what are you doing with your school items ” She would always reply with an answer that satisfied me.
One day, after offering the same thing only a week earlier, I became angry with her asking for more and seriously asked her once more, “Gina! what is going on with your school items ” Knowing her excuses would no longer work, she lowered her head and began to cry. I lifted her tiny chin（下巴） and looked into those big brown eyes, filled now with tears. “What ! What is wrong ” My mind was filled with all kinds of ideas. Had she been bullied by another child Was she giving her items to him or her to keep from being hurt I couldn’t imagine what was going on, but I knew it was something serious for her to cry. I waited for what seemed like a year for her to answer.
“Mom,” she began, “there is a boy in my class; he doesn’t have any of the items he needs to do his work. The other kids make fun of him because his papers are in a mess and he only has two crayons to color with. I have been putting the new items you bought me in his desk before the others come in, so he doesn’t know it’s me. Please don’t get mad at me, Mom.

Realizing the importance of protection, more and more of them returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019．“WhenI was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.”
Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined.
Even though there is progress, the Shixiaguan part still remains closed to the public. “My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.”

In the first half of the twentieth century, Karl von Frisch, a scientist who studied animal behavior, changed our impression of honey bees by discovering the “waggle （摇摆） dance”, which may not be considered as a language, but a form of communication. It was one of our first understandings that bees do something like what we call “thinking”.
Clint Perry, a scientist at Queen Mary University of London, has spent much time studying how bees think. He gave bees a choice between landing on a place above a black bar（横木） or a place below it. If they landed above the bar, they would find a delicious sugary drink. If they chose the place below the black bar, they found a terrible drink. He made the test harder or easier by moving the landing places farther from or closer to the black bar. But bees also had the choice of avoiding the task if they weren’t sure they would succeed. Perry found that bees avoided the test when it was difficult and gave it a try when it was easy.
Perry pointed out that we can’t know for sure from tests like this whether bees are actually judging by their own knowledge or simply quitting the task because of an unhappy connection with the terrible drink.
Scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. No one is suggesting that bees are as smart as humans, at least not when it comes to things like memory and language. But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information.
We may also have to rethink how we view the rest of the insect world. There are a lot of small creatures （生物） flying around in the garden. Who knows what those tiny minds might be able to do
28．Why does the author mention Karl von Frisch in the first paragraph
A．To introduce a famous scientist. B．To change the impression of bees.
C．To show early study of bees’ thinking. D．To stress the importance of bees’ study.
29．How did Clint Perry make the task difficult
A．By setting more choices. B．By giving challenging orders.
C．By making landing places farther. D．By reducing the sweet level of the drinks.
30．What is Clint Perry’s attitude to the result of the research
A．Supportive. B．Uncaring. C．Doubtful. D．Uncertain.
31．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Insects’ thinking ability will improve. B．The number of small insects will increase.
C．Study on insects’ brains has a long way to go. D．Insects’ life habits will be a focus of research.
D
Little kids are much more likely to remember a thing that is unimaginable to them, a team reports in the journal PNAS.
Feigenson, an expert at Johns Hopkins University and Aimee Stahl of The College of New Jersey did an experiment that included 335 2-and 3-year-olds. “We wanted to know how little kids think about possibilities,” Feigenson says.
Their first challenge was getting the attention of kids that young, so the scientists designed a special machine filled with toys. It turns out that the chance to put a little coin in a machine and get a prize is a drive to kids. When the little kids got a toy from the machine, the scientists told them it had a made-up name: Blick. Later, they were asked to point to the Blick among many toys. When the little kids knew the transparent（透明的） machine held Blicks, they were unsurprised by their prize and usually forgot its name. This was true even when the machine had only one or two Blicks among lots of other toys.
But the little kids behaved very differently when they got a Blick from a machine that appeared to have none,a seemingly impossible thing. Often, “kids’ eyes get wide, and their mouths open, and they look at their mom in surprise that this has happened,” Feigenson says. Moreover, when little kids met this completely unexpected result, they usually remembered the Blick’s name. They are really driven to learn.
The results further prove that even very young children learn better when they meet the unexpected, says Andrew Shtulman, an expert at Occidental College. “It causes a level of surprise that leads to more attention, better understanding of the things, and better continuous attention of those things later on,” he adds, “If you want children to learn something deeply and for a long time, you go against their expectations before introducing that information.”
32．What does the experiment focus on
A．Little kids’ imagination. B．Little kids’ rememberance.
C．Little kids’ curiosity about learning. D．Little kids’ behaviour to possibilities.
33．What does the underlined word “this” refer to in paragraph 3
A．They had no interest in the result. B．They had no confidence in winning.
C．They had difficulty in concentrating. D．They did well in telling the difference.
34．How did little kids find the machine without Blicks
A．They were amazed. B．They were annoyed.
C．They were satisfied. D．They were frightened.
35．What is Andrew Shtulman’s suggestion on children’s learning
A．Offer information directly. B．Teach them as they expect.
C．Provide more teaching methods. D．Surprise the kids to learn better.

I have a terrible sense of direction, so without the guide of GPS— the Global Positioning System— not only would I be lost, but also I’d feel lost. 36 . If you want to get confidence on the road or be less dependent on GPS to get around, here are some steps you can take to improve your sense of direction.
Turn off your GPS and get lost on purpose. Next time you go for a walk, go down a road you’ve not walked and see where it ends up or take the beautiful road to your favorite restaurant or coffee shop. 37 . The goal is to get comfortable with getting lost and moving through the world without a map.
Use landmarks to guide yourself. Not sure if you’re north, south, east or west from home 38 . The perfect landmark is large and far away, like a big sign, a highway, or a bridge which can serve as a better mark of direction.
Use memory tricks（技巧） to remember where you are. People with a good sense of direction know their streets. If you have no sense of direction, you can try some expert methods. Keep street names and roads in mind by using stories and tricks to lock things in. 39 .
These methods may not turn you into an expert guide able to find your way out of being lost. 40 . And you can use them to gain a better sense of ownership over your environment.
A．Driving with GPS brings trouble sometimes.
B．Pick landmarks in town to help guide yourself.
C．But they can reduce any anxiety about getting lost.
D．It gives you an idea of how the streets are connected.

My daughter Gina was in Mrs. Melton’s fourth-grade class. After only a month in school, she began to come home from time to time asking for pencils, crayons（蜡笔）, paper, etc. At first I just provided whatever she needed, never questioning her.
After ongoing requests for objects that should have easily lasted a mere six weeks of fourth grade, I became worried and asked her, “Gina, what are you doing with your school items ” She would always reply with an answer that satisfied me.
One day, after offering the same thing only a week earlier, I became angry with her asking for more and seriously asked her once more, “Gina! what is going on with your school items ” Knowing her excuses would no longer work, she lowered her head and began to cry. I lifted her tiny chin（下巴） and looked into those big brown eyes, filled now with tears. “What ! What is wrong ” My mind was filled with all kinds of ideas. Had she been bullied by another child Was she giving her items to him or her to keep from being hurt I couldn’t imagine what was going on, but I knew it was something serious for her to cry. I waited for what seemed like a year for her to answer.
“Mom,” she began, “there is a boy in my class; he doesn’t have any of the items he needs to do his work. The other kids make fun of him because his papers are in a mess and he only has two crayons to color with. I have been putting the new items you bought me in his desk before the others come in, so he doesn’t know it’s me. Please don’t get mad at me, Mom. I didn’t mean to tell you a lie, but I didn’t want anyone to know it was me.”
