WAKING A SLEEPWALKER IS BAD FOR THEIR HEALTH① Sleepwalking typically occurs during the non-rapid eye movement stage of sleep. Several factors can lead to walking while sleeping, including alcohol use, stress and even brain injury. However, there is a genetic explanation for sleepwalking. Studies have shown that children with one or both sleepwalking parents are 40 to 60 per cent more likely to sleepwalk themselves. As for the consequences of waking a sleepwalker, there is no evidence that it will hurt or harm him, but will likely cause disorientation and confusion. LYING ON YOUR BACK MAKES YOU SNORE MORE② Snoring, namely breathing noisily, is caused by airflow being restricted through the body’s airways during sleep. When you lie on your back, gravity pulls tissues that surround your airways downwards, narrowing them. As air passes through the passage through the nose causes tissue to vibrate (振动) with every breath and can create a snoring sound. When you sleep on your side this tissue doesn’t move downwards, opening up the airways and reducing the volume of snoring.
YOU ONLY USE TEN PERCENT OF YOUR BRAIN③ This common theory in question dates back to the early 1900s, when the philosopher and founder of American psychology William James suggested that we only use a small portion of our potential. In a 1907 paper titled The Energies of Men, James wrote: “We are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources.” It’s sustained by a book How to Win Friends and Influence People, where American writer Lowell Thomas wrote that “professor William James of Harvard used to say that the average person develops only ten per cent of his potential mental ability”. However, the truth is that your brain is firing on all cylinders (气缸) and not limited to just ten percent of its power.

When Hurricane Douglas came barreling toward Oahu in 2020, David Sischo quickly packed up and drove to higher ground. But he wasn’t shifting his family. He was shifting snails.
Sischo works with some of the rarest endangered species on the planet, kahuli — Hawaii’s native tree snails. The colorful, jewel-like snails were once so abundant. It’s said they were like Christmas ornaments covering the trees. Almost all of the 750 different species were found only in Hawaii. Today, more than half of those species are gone, the extinctions happening in the span of a human lifetime. Sischo and his team with Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources have the heavy task of saving what’s left.
To stave off extinction, 40 species of snails, each about the size of a dime, live in human care inside an unremarkable trailer near Honolulu. For some, it’s the only place where they’re found, their wild populations having completely disappeared. “Most people, when they think endangered species going extinct, they think of pandas and tigers and elephants, but imagine having 40 different species that are all as rare as pandas are,” Sischo says.
This winter, one species of snail will inch toward an auspicious milestone. It will be released in a special enclosure in the mountains of Oahu, one that has been painstakingly prepared to give the snails the best chance of survival in their natural environment.
Still, the outlook for Hawaii’s snails is uncertain, symbolizing a new era in the conservation of endangered species. Around the world, plants and animals are being brought into enclosure as a last-ditch effort against extinction. But as the climate heats up and invasive species continue to spread, many have no clear path to return to nature in the near term. That could mean they stay in human care. In the face of the biodiversity crisis, many wildlife biologists say there’s no other choice. “These are biological treasures that are irreplaceable,” Sisch o says. “It is now or never what we manage to keep on Earth will be what the next generation is able to put back.”
24. What was David’s primary concern when Hurricane Douglas approached
A. The safety of his family.
B. The protection of rare tree snails.
C. The withdrawal of local residents.
D. The observation of the hurricane.
25. What’s the present state of kahuli
A. They are now more abundant than ever.
B. All 750 species are still thriving in Hawaii.
C. They are in a critical situation of extinction.
D. They can be found in various parts of the world.
26. What does the phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Clarify. B. Accelerate. C. Witness. D. Prevent.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The future of Hawaii’s snails is promising.
B. The biodiversity crisis is easy to deal with.
C. The ways to protect endangered species are numerous.
D. The conservation of endangered species is challenging.

Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral
Chinese state media has praised a viral video series telling the story of a jade teapot coming to life and fleeing the British Museum to make its way back home.
The set of three short videos, entitled Escape from the British Museum, shows the teapot turning into a young woman in a green dress, who then engages a London-based Chinese journalist to help her reunite with her family. It appears to have struck a chord (弦) in China after first being released by independent vloggers on Douyin. By Monday evening, it had reportedly received more than 310 million views. The plot line taps into growing Chinese criticism of the British Museum after reports last month that more than 1,500 priceless objects, including gold jewelry, semi-precious stones and glass, were missing, stolen or damaged.
In August the state media Global Times called for the return of Chinese artifacts from the museum “free of charge” in the wake of the controversy. “The huge holes in the management and security of cultural objects in the British Museum exposed by this scandal (丑闻) have led to the collapse of a long-standing and widely circulated claim that foreign cultural objects are better protected in the British Museum,” it said. It strongly supported the video series for touching on a “powerful message” about the importance of cultural heritage and reflecting “Chinese people’s desire for the repatriation of the Chinese cultural relics.”
State broadcaster CCTV also gave the short films a glowing review saying: “We are very pleased to see Chinese young people are passionate about history and tradition... We are also looking forward to the early return of Chinese artifacts that have been displayed overseas.”
The museum scandal made headlines around the world and reawakened earlier demands by the Chinese media to restore the country’s relics. The new three-part show has triggered a wave of nationalism among viewers, with many praising the creative plot that reduced them to tears by showing how the teapot experienced the happiness of returning to China to see pandas and watch a flag-raising ceremony on Tiananmen Square.
28. What excuse does Britain give for keeping other nations’ cultural objects in its museum
A. It has taken possession of these objects by all lawful means.
B. These objects are safer and taken better care of in its museum.
C. It is requested by other nations to protect their cultural objects.
D. These objects may come to life, flee their countries and go viral.
29. What does the underlined word “repatriation” (Para.3) probably mean
A. Repair. B. Reduction. C. Reserve. D. Return.
30. Which of the following can we infer from the passage
A. China had already demanded the restitution of its cultural relics before the scandal.
B. The museum’s awful management and security systems are involved in the scandal.
C. The Britain Museum is under pressure to return the cultural relics to China sooner or later.
D. A London-based Chinese journalist has contributed a lot to the viral three-part video series.
31. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To appeal to Britain to return China’s cultural objects.
B. To introduce a viral video series about a fleeing jade teapot.
C. To arouse readers’ concern about Chinese cultural objects abroad.
D. To praise Chinese young people’s passion for history and tradition.
D
Most taxi drivers need a smartphone to get to their destinations. But sharks, it seems, need nothing more than their own bodies — and Earth’s magnetic (磁的) field. A new study suggests some sharks can read Earth’s field like a map and use it to travel long distances with accuracy.
Since the 1970s, researchers have suspected that some fish can detect magnetic fields. But no one had shown that sharks use the fields to find their location or navigate (导航), partly because the animals aren’t so easy to work with. It’s one thing if you have a small fish, or a baby sea turtle, but when you work with sharks, you have to upscale everything.
Bryan Keller, an ecologist at Florida State University, and his colleagues decided to do just that. They lined a bedroom-size cage with wire and placed a small swimming pool in the center of the cage. By running an electrical current through the wiring, they could generate a custom magnetic field in the center of the pool. The team then collected 20 young bonnethead sharks — a species known to migrate hundreds of kilometers — off the Florida coast. They placed the sharks into the pool, one at a time, and let them swim freely under three different magnetic fields, applied in random succession. One field mimicked (模仿) Earth’s natural field at the spot where the sharks were collected, while the others mimicked the fields at locations 600 kilometers north and 600 kilometers south of their homes.
They used software to track the sharks’ responses, observing which direction in the tank they were trying to swim towards. When the young sharks were exposed to the magnetic field of the place they were captured, or “home”, they stayed put. But when subjected to the southern magnetic field, the sharks persistently changed their headings to swim north, as if trying to get back home. This suggests that the sharks were using the magnetic field to guide them, similar to how humans use GPS.
Surprisingly, the researchers found that the sharks didn’t favor any direction when swimming under the northern field. Keller says this might be because they don’t go north of their home location since there is only land there, and so they rarely have to find their way back south again. “This could support the theory that their ability to go back home is a learned behavior,” he says. They might not know what to do in the northern field because “they’ve never been up there,” says Keller.
Keller’s research adds a significant piece to the still-incomplete puzzle of shark biology. Sharks have been declining at an alarming rate due to mostly overfishing and habitat change. Studying the life cycles and migration patterns of sharks can help us understand what areas to protect when managing marine spaces.
Why is it difficult for researchers to prove that sharks can read Earth’s field
A. Sharks are too hard to follow and observe.
B. Sharks are not sensitive to magnetic fields.
C. Sharks are difficult to study in a laboratory setting.
D. Sharks are on the list of endangered species.
33. According to Keller, what might be the reason why sharks don’t favor any direction when swimming under the northern magnetic field
A. They don’t like the climate in the north.
B. They’ve never been to the north of their home before.
C. They learned to do so when they were young.
D. The northern magnetic field was not strong enough.
34. From the passage, we can infer that Keller’s research is significant because it _________.
A. provides a new method for capturing sharks.
B. supports the idea that sharks’ migration patterns are random.
C. adds crucial information to our understanding of shark biology.
D. suggests that sharks should be protected from overfishing.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Sharks use Earth’s magnetic field to find their way on seas.
B. Researchers discovered a new way to study sharks in labs.
C. Shark populations are declining due to habitat change.
D. Sharks have a learned behavior of returning to their home.

67. 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。
It was the late 1980s. I was 15. It had been nine years since I last saw my dad. To mark our reunion in the country of my birth, my dad, who adored adventures, wanted me to “visit all your people and see every corner of your beautiful home,” so he took us on a road trip.
However, admiring Jamaica’s landscape was the last thing on my mind as I sat in the back of the Beelly angry at my dad because he had dropped in and out of our childhood. My aim was to get to know him better. Not anymore.
Once, when he was unwel, I had to take the bus back to Kingston later than usual instead of him driving me. The sun was sinking, and the sky was darkening.
“You sure you’re OK to walk up the shortcut to the bus stop ” he asked, sensing my city-girl nerves at the prospect of navigating a lightless country path.
“I’m fine,” I lied.
He rolled his eyes, coughed, put on his jacket and shoes, and led me up the path. As we walked, with leaves rustling (沙沙作响), he found the energy to give me a mini biology lecture on the luminescent (发冷光的) powers of the fireflies and instructed me to “spot their guiding lights.”
Before I knew it, we were safe at our destination.
“Love you, be safe,” he waved to me, before heading back down the dark track, fireflies flashing around him.
“Bye, take care.” I replied, loving him too, but not always able to say it.
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150左右；

However, as he started to walk back down the dark track, I felt a sudden urge to follow.
