Mo Wilde’s fascinating book, Free Food: Wild Plants and How to Eat Them, makes the case for connecting with nature by finding your cuisine beyond supermarket shelves.
A couple of years ago, the thin branches of an elder (接骨木) bush inched through the open blinds of my apartment building, gradually forming what I can only describe as a piece of living wallpaper. Mother Nature was breaking into our boundaries — reminding us who’s boss. I thought it was fantastic, but the householder did not. A tree surgeon was called in.
Mo Wilde would have had other ideas. In Free Food, she suggests using elder leaves when cooking potatoes: they have a similar taste to parsley, a plant used as a herb in cooking. This simple way bridges the gap that middlemen, such as supermarkets and grocery shops, have placed between us and the natural world. “We are nature,” Wilde writes. “And making good use of more wild food into our diets will make us more conscious of that.”
Free Food advocates for integration, not complete replacement. For instance, try using leaves instead of tin foil for wrapping delicate food when barbecuing. Tables, like the “Wild Spice Conversion Chart” make wild garlic look downright basic. Do you know sneezewort produces a similar taste to Sichuan pepper Her suggestions even involve using plants for medicinal teas and household items. Wilde’s tone is encouraging and her expertise and experience make you trust her, and her enthusiasm makes you turn the page.
Readers whose home is their kitchen will notice that Wilde provides more ideas than recipes. Since reading Free Food, I’ve found myself picking leaves and seeing whether I can identify them without an app, though there is always an app that would instantly tell me what they are. The appeal of collecting is that it forces you to pay attention to your surroundings and build a relationship with nature, one plant at a time.
24. Why did the householder call in a tree surgeon
A. To remove the elder branches. B. To repair the blinds.
C. To get another elder tree planted. D. To replace the wallpaper.
25. Where does Mo Wilde see a gap
A. Between elder leaves and parsley. B. Between our diet and nature gifts.
C. Between wild food and our awareness. D. Between supermarkets and grocery shops.
26. What can the underlined word “sneezewort” refer to in paragraph 4
A. A health-care tea. B. A big leaf used as a package.
C. A household cleaning article. D. A wild plant with a hot flavor.
27. What change has the author undergone after reading Free Food
A. Falling in love with cooking. B. Starting to collect leaves for recipes.
C. Coming into closer contact with nature. D. Learning to draw on apps to explore plants.

Today’s virtual reality games and content can be absorbing, but they. largely miss the mark when it comes to haptic (触觉的) feedback. Wouldn’t it be cool to just feel an object and perceive the sensation of running your hand over rich fabric in VR
That’s what researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois are hoping to achieve with their new wearable, a tiny lightweight device that can go far beyond simply vibrating (震动) against your skin to deliver richer haptics using more advanced tech.
“All existing haptic devices really just stick at the skin,”said John Rogers, the professor leading the design. “But human skin is receptive to much more complicated senses of touch. That’s why we created a device that could apply forces to the skin in any direction-not just sticking but pushing, sliding and stretching. With it, we can finely control the complex sensation of touch in a fully programmable way.”
Powered by a rechargeable battery, the device uses Bluetooth to connect wirelessly with virtual reality headsets and smartphones. Its small size and energy efficiency allow it to be worn anywhere on the body or added to existing wearable tech.
Depending on where the haptic is mounted-say, on the back of your hand or on a fingertip-the onboard device delivers information about whether you’re moving quickly or slowly, and in which direction. That makes for more. realistic motion tracking. It helps the sensory feedback component of VR experiences catch up to the realistic video we’ve come to expect when wearing a headset.
Beyond enabling more engaging experiences, Rogers notes they can also assist with other novel applications. “If you run your finger along a piece of silk, it will slide faster than when touching cotton fabric,”he said. “You can imagine shopping. for clothes online and feeling the material.”In another trial, they changed the sound of music into physical touch, so a user could differentiate between tones and instruments by the direction of vibrations they were feeling from the wearable. This tech could also help visually disabled people find their way. Their device represents a transformative force across industries, unlocking vast commercial potentials.
28. What is the main problem with. current VR haptic devices
A. They are too heavy to wear comfortably. B. They only offer simple vibration feedback
C. They fail to connect wirelessly with headsets. D. They can’t follow motion direction accurately.
29. On what basis was the device developed
A. Skin’s barrier function. B. Demand for interactive wearables.
C. Advanced AI technology. D. Skin’s sensitivity to external forces.
30. How does the device enhance VR experiences
A. By improving video resolution. B. By adjusting vibration intensity.
C. By employing more vivid sound effects. D. By matching richer touch sensations with visuals.
31. What will the author most probably discuss next concerning the device
A. Innovative uses. B. Market prospects. C. Experimental processes. D. Design motivations.
D
How do you quantify something as complex and personal as humour University of Alberta researchers have developed a mathematical method of doing just that and it might not be as personal as we think.
The study originated from earlier research where test subjects with aphasia (失语症) were asked to review letter strings and determine whether they were real words or not. Westbury, lead author of the new study, began to notice a trend: participants would laugh when they heard some made-up non-words, like snunkoople. Then how can a made-up word be funny
Westbury assumed the answer lay in the word’s entropy, a mathematical measure of how ordered or predictable it is. Non-words like finglam, with uncommon letter combinations, are low in entropy.
Westbury set out to determine whether it was possible to predict what words people would find funny, using entropy as a yardstick. “Once you start thinking about humour in terms of probability, then you start to understand how we find so many different things funny,” he said.
In his study, test subjects were asked to compare two non-words and choose. The option they considered to be more humourous, and then they were shown a single non-word and rated how humourous they found it in the range of 1 to 100.
“The results show that the bigger the difference in the entropy between the two words, the more likely the subjects were to choose the way we expected them to,” says Westbury, noting that the most accurate subject chose correctly up to 92 percent of the time.
This nearly universal response says a lot about the nature of humour and its role in human evolution. “We think humour is personal. Actually, humour is an evolutionary message sending device. So if you laugh, you let someone-else know something is not dangerous,” says Westbury. “The study may not change the game for stand-up comedians, but the findings may be useful in the business field. For example, people might dislike buying a funny-named medication for a serious illness, or it could go the other way around.”
32. What does the new study focus on
A. The classification of humour levels. B. The measurement of humour perception.
C. The means of creating letter strings. D. The potential of humour in commercials
33. What kind of word seems more humourous according to the study
A. Non-words with high entropy. B. Non-words with abnormal origins.
C. Non-words with rare letter groupings. D. Non-words with handwritten letters.
34. Which of the following best describes test subjects task in Westbury’s study
A. Contrast, select and grade. B. Inquire, pick and present.
C. Compare, design and report. D. Collect, document and evaluate.
35. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph
A. Humour differs among individuals. B. Humour has its roots in word play.
C. Humour is a product of human. evolution. D. Humour is absolutely personal and subjective.

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。
In a poverty-stricken community of Yazoo, Ben had his life journey shaped by an old barber called Jack. As a poor boy, Ben was among those who benefited from Jack’s special offer. Every time he got a free haircut, the barber would encourage him to read storybooks, opening up a world of knowledge and imagination he had never known before.
As Ben grew up, Jack grew old, unable to do his usual job. Ben decided to take over Jack’s shop. Guided by Jack, Ben mastered the skill of cutting hair and became a popular barber in the neighborhood. He continued the tradition of providing free haircuts for poor children.
Soon Ben found that, accustomed to hanging about to kill time and having little access to books, many kids around had weak literacy. When he asked about what they learned, he would receive short and broken responses. Among them was a shy boy named Harry, his father dead and mother often ill in bed.
Determined to encourage the children to read for their future, Ben turned to Jack for advice. His idea was supported by Jack, who helped him set up a reading section in the corner of the shop. Ben filled it with all kinds of books he bought.
When Harry came for a haircut, Ben said smilingly, “Harry, there are some great storybooks waiting for you. Why not pick one to read ” Harry looked up, his eyes wide with surprise. Ben led him to the book shelves and helped him choose a book about a young hero who overcame great odds.
Harry became a regular in the reading room. He would sit in the corner, completely absorbed in a book, his lips moving slightly as he read silently. Ben noticed Harry was initially hesitant to read aloud due to his poor pronunciation. Whenever Harry mispronounced a word, Ben would assure him, “It’s okay, Harry. Try that again. You’re doing great.” With Ben’s continuous help, Harry’s reading skills gradually improved.
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day Jack told Ben of a reading aloud contest in the community.

【原文】W: Hi, there! I’m Maria, and I’m a competitor on this season’s Dancing Stars Showdown. It’s been an incredible experience so far. Every day, we practice for the big performances. Many thanks to all the staff for their cooperation. We start in the studio at 5:00 p.m., going over every routine until it’s perfect. It’s hard work. The amount of focus and energy that goes into each step is incredible — there’s no room for mistakes when the cameras are rolling. By 7:00 p.m., we get ourselves dressed up. My clothes shine with the light with every movement. I don’t usually wear things like that! Then, at 8:30 p.m., the show officially begins! First, the stars perform their routines, and each of us gets 10 minutes to shine. I’m the second one to go up, which gives me a little time to prepare. Stepping out onto the stage under those bright lights and giving it everything is exciting. All the sweat and tears are worth it now. All I want to do is present the best version of myself to the audience. It’s a moment I’ve dreamed of for years, and now I’m living it!

Mo Wilde’s fascinating book, Free Food: Wild Plants and How to Eat Them, makes the case for connecting with nature by finding your cuisine beyond supermarket shelves.
A couple of years ago, the thin branches of an elder (接骨木) bush inched through the open blinds of my apartment building, gradually forming what I can only describe as a piece of living wallpaper. Mother Nature was breaking into our boundaries — reminding us who’s boss. I thought it was fantastic, but the householder did not. A tree surgeon was called in.
Mo Wilde would have had other ideas. In Free Food, she suggests using elder leaves when cooking potatoes: they have a similar taste to parsley, a plant used as a herb in cooking. This simple way bridges the gap that middlemen, such as supermarkets and grocery shops, have placed between us and the natural world. “We are nature,” Wilde writes. “And making good use of more wild food into our diets will make us more conscious of that.”
Free Food advocates for integration, not complete replacement. For instance, try using leaves instead of tin foil for wrapping delicate food when barbecuing. Tables, like the “Wild Spice Conversion Chart” make wild garlic look downright basic. Do you know sneezewort produces a similar taste to Sichuan pepper Her suggestions even involve using plants for medicinal teas and household items. Wilde’s tone is encouraging and her expertise and experience make you trust her, and her enthusiasm makes you turn the page.
Readers whose home is their kitchen will notice that Wilde provides more ideas than recipes. Since reading Free Food, I’ve found myself picking leaves and seeing whether I can identify them without an app, though there is always an app that would instantly tell me what they are. The appeal of collecting is that it forces you to pay attention to your surroundings and build a relationship with nature, one plant at a time.
24. Why did the householder call in a tree surgeon
A. To remove the elder branches. B. To repair the blinds.
C. To get another elder tree planted. D. To replace the wallpaper.
25. Where does Mo Wilde see a gap
A. Between elder leaves and parsley. B. Between our diet and nature gifts.
C. Between wild food and our awareness. D. Between supermarkets and grocery shops.
26. What can the underlined word “sneezewort” refer to in paragraph 4
A. A health-care tea. B. A big leaf used as a package.
C. A household cleaning article. D. A wild plant with a hot flavor.
27. What change has the author undergone after reading Free Food
A. Falling in love with cooking. B. Starting to collect leaves for recipes.
C. Coming into closer contact with nature. D. Learning to draw on apps to explore plants.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C

Today’s virtual reality games and content can be absorbing, but they. largely miss the mark when it comes to haptic (触觉的) feedback. Wouldn’t it be cool to just feel an object and perceive the sensation of running your hand over rich fabric in VR
That’s what researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois are hoping to achieve with their new wearable, a tiny lightweight device that can go far beyond simply vibrating (震动) against your skin to deliver richer haptics using more advanced tech.
“All existing haptic devices really just stick at the skin,”said John Rogers, the professor leading the design. “But human skin is receptive to much more complicated senses of touch. That’s why we created a device that could apply forces to the skin in any direction-not just sticking but pushing, sliding and stretching. With it, we can finely control the complex sensation of touch in a fully programmable way.”
Powered by a rechargeable battery, the device uses Bluetooth to connect wirelessly with virtual reality headsets and smartphones. Its small size and energy efficiency allow it to be worn anywhere on the body or added to existing wearable tech.
Depending on where the haptic is mounted-say, on the back of your hand or on a fingertip-the onboard device delivers information about whether you’re moving quickly or slowly, and in which direction. That makes for more. realistic motion tracking. It helps the sensory feedback component of VR experiences catch up to the realistic video we’ve come to expect when wearing a headset.
Beyond enabling more engaging experiences, Rogers notes they can also assist with other novel applications. “If you run your finger along a piece of silk, it will slide faster than when touching cotton fabric,”he said. “You can imagine shopping. for clothes online and feeling the material.”In another trial, they changed the sound of music into physical touch, so a user could differentiate between tones and instruments by the direction of vibrations they were feeling from the wearable. This tech could also help visually disabled people find their way. Their device represents a transformative force across industries, unlocking vast commercial potentials.
28. What is the main problem with. current VR haptic devices
A. They are too heavy to wear comfortably. B. They only offer simple vibration feedback
C. They fail to connect wirelessly with headsets. D. They can’t follow motion direction accurately.
29. On what basis was the device developed
A. Skin’s barrier function. B. Demand for interactive wearables.
C. Advanced AI technology. D. Skin’s sensitivity to external forces.
30. How does the device enhance VR experiences
A. By improving video resolution. B. By adjusting vibration intensity.
C. By employing more vivid sound effects. D. By matching richer touch sensations with visuals.
31. What will the author most probably discuss next concerning the device
A. Innovative uses. B. Market prospects. C. Experimental processes. D. Design motivations.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. B
D
How do you quantify something as complex and personal as humour University of Alberta researchers have developed a mathematical method of doing just that and it might not be as personal as we think.
The study originated from earlier research where test subjects with aphasia (失语症) were asked to review letter strings and determine whether they were real words or not. Westbury, lead author of the new study, began to notice a trend: participants would laugh when they heard some made-up non-words, like snunkoople. Then how can a made-up word be funny
Westbury assumed the answer lay in the word’s entropy, a mathematical measure of how ordered or predictable it is. Non-words like finglam, with uncommon letter combinations, are low in entropy.
Westbury set out to determine whether it was possible to predict what words people would find funny, using entropy as a yardstick. “Once you start thinking about humour in terms of probability, then you start to understand how we find so many different things funny,” he said.
In his study, test subjects were asked to compare two non-words and choose. The option they considered to be more humourous, and then they were shown a single non-word and rated how humourous they found it in the range of 1 to 100.
“The results show that the bigger the difference in the entropy between the two words, the more likely the subjects were to choose the way we expected them to,” says Westbury, noting that the most accurate subject chose correctly up to 92 percent of the time.
This nearly universal response says a lot about the nature of humour and its role in human evolution. “We think humour is personal. Actually, humour is an evolutionary message sending device. So if you laugh, you let someone-else know something is not dangerous,” says Westbury. “The study may not change the game for stand-up comedians, but the findings may be useful in the business field. For example, people might dislike buying a funny-named medication for a serious illness, or it could go the other way around.”
32. What does the new study focus on
A. The classification of humour levels. B. The measurement of humour perception.
C. The means of creating letter strings. D. The potential of humour in commercials
33. What kind of word seems more humourous according to the study
A. Non-words with high entropy. B. Non-words with abnormal origins.
C. Non-words with rare letter groupings. D. Non-words with handwritten letters.
34. Which of the following best describes test subjects task in Westbury’s study
A. Contrast, select and grade. B. Inquire, pick and present.
C. Compare, design and report. D. Collect, document and evaluate.
35. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph
A. Humour differs among individuals. B. Humour has its roots in word play.
C. Humour is a product of human. evolution. D. Humour is absolutely personal and subjective.

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。
In a poverty-stricken community of Yazoo, Ben had his life journey shaped by an old barber called Jack. As a poor boy, Ben was among those who benefited from Jack’s special offer. Every time he got a free haircut, the barber would encourage him to read storybooks, opening up a world of knowledge and imagination he had never known before.
As Ben grew up, Jack grew old, unable to do his usual job. Ben decided to take over Jack’s shop. Guided by Jack, Ben mastered the skill of cutting hair and became a popular barber in the neighborhood. He continued the tradition of providing free haircuts for poor children.
Soon Ben found that, accustomed to hanging about to kill time and having little access to books, many kids around had weak literacy. When he asked about what they learned, he would receive short and broken responses. Among them was a shy boy named Harry, his father dead and mother often ill in bed.
Determined to encourage the children to read for their future, Ben turned to Jack for advice. His idea was supported by Jack, who helped him set up a reading section in the corner of the shop. Ben filled it with all kinds of books he bought.
When Harry came for a haircut, Ben said smilingly, “Harry, there are some great storybooks waiting for you. Why not pick one to read ” Harry looked up, his eyes wide with surprise. Ben led him to the book shelves and helped him choose a book about a young hero who overcame great odds.
Harry became a regular in the reading room. He would sit in the corner, completely absorbed in a book, his lips moving slightly as he read silently. Ben noticed Harry was initially hesitant to read aloud due to his poor pronunciation. Whenever Harry mispronounced a word, Ben would assure him, “It’s okay, Harry. Try that again. You’re doing great.” With Ben’s continuous help, Harry’s reading skills gradually improved.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
One day, Jack told Ben of a reading aloud contest in the community. “It’s an opportunity for the kids to shine,” Jack said. Ben immediately thought of Harry, who had built up his confidence but still shrank from presenting in public. Ben went to find Harry and told him about the contest. Harry lowered his head, his cheeks flushing. “What if I mess up ” Harry murmured. Ben patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him, “Remember how you first started This is just another step.” Harry nodded, agreeing to give it a shot. For days, Ben set aside time to coach Harry on reading with expression and rhythm. Jack also shared tips on adding emotions to reading. Gradually, Harry’s voice sounded rhythmic and energetic.
When the big day came, Jack and Ben accompanied Harry to the contest hall. At the sight of the large audience, Harry froze. But the moment he met Ben’s and Jack’s warm smiles and thumbs-up gestures, he calmed down and walked onto the stage. His voice was steady at first, and then grew increasingly passionate. When he reached the final lines, the hall erupted into applause. Harry won second prize! Holding the certificate, he flashed a bright smile at Ben and Jack. From then on, more kids came to Ben’s reading corner. Ben and Jack felt content that their small corner was making a big difference in the children’s lives.
