The Cheese Rolling Festival in Gloucestershire
Every year, on the last Monday in May, the small village of Brockworth in Gloucestershire, England, hosts one of the most unusual and thrilling events in the world: the Cheese Rolling Festival. Participants gather at the top of Cooper’s Hill, a steep and grassy slope, to chase a large wheel of Double Gloucester cheese as it rolls down the hill. The first person to cross the finish line at the bottom wins the cheese.
What Happens at the Cheese Rolling Festival
The event begins with the master of ceremonies introducing the cheese and the rules. The cheese is then released, and competitors race down the hill after it. Due to the steepness of the hill, most participants end up tumbling and rolling rather than running. The race is incredibly full of risks, with many participants suffering minor injuries such as bruises and sprains. Despite the risks. the event attracts hundreds of participants and spectators from around the world.
The Rules of the Cheese Rolling Festival:
* Only one cheese is released per race, and the first person to cross the finish line wins it.
* Participants must start at the top of the hill and cannot interfere with the cheese’s path.
* Safety gear is not compulsory, but participants are advised to wear sturdy clothing and shoes.
* Spectators must stay clear of the race path to avoid accidents.
Useful Tips:
* Wear old clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty or damaged.
* Be prepared for physical exhaustion and potential minor injuries.
* Arrive early to secure a good viewing spot, as the event attracts large crowds.
* If you re not from the area, book accommodation well in advance, as local hotels fill up quickly.

Jane Goodall, a renowned British primatologist (灵长类动物学家), revolutionized our understanding of chimpanzees and their behavior through her groundbreaking work in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania. Her journey began in 1960 when she arrived in Gombe, initially feeling like an outsider among the chimpanzees. However, her persistence paid off when she encountered David Greybeard, a chimpanzee who trusted her and led her to a fact that no one had ever discovered— chimpanzees were capable of making and using tools. This finding challenged the common belief that only humans possessed rational thought and tool-making abilities.
Goodall’s lack of formal university training initially worked in her favor, as her unprejudiced perspective allowed her to observe chimpanzees with fresh eyes. Her tutor, Louis Leakey, recognized her passion and patience, qualities that would define her career. Goodall’s observations revealed the complex social structures and emotional lives of chimpanzees, particularly through her relationship with Flo, a mother chimpanzee, and her family. Flo’s nurturing (养育的) behavior mirrored that of human mothers, deepening Goodall’s understanding of the similarities between humans and chimpanzees. Goodall’s work
extended beyond research. She witnessed the darker side of chimpanzee behavior during the “Four Year War,” a violent conflict between rival chimpanzee groups. This experience led her to reflect on the deep-seated aggression in human nature, inherited from our primate ancestors.
Despite many challenges, Goodall remained committed to conservation, establishing centers for orphaned chimpanzees, such as the one in Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo. Goodall’s fame grew, and she became a symbol of scientific dedication. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) to support conservation efforts and community development programs, including Roots and Shoots, which empowers young people to engage in environmental protection. Goodall also advocates education for young African girls, providing scholarships and reproductive health education.
Now in her 90s, Goodall continues to travel extensively, advocating for environmental protection and animal welfare. Her legacy is not only in her scientific contributions but also in her tireless efforts to inspire future generations to care for the planet and its inhabitants. Jane Goodall’s life and work remind us of the profound connections between humans and the natural world.
24. What was Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking discovery about chimpanzees
A. They could think rationally and make tools.
B. They could communicate using sign language.
C. They had profound connections with humans and nature.
D. They could recognize themselves in mirrors.
25. What was the significance of Flo in Jane Goodall’s research
A. Flo was the first chimpanzee to trust Jane Goodall.
B. Flo was the mother of a chimpanzee community.
C. Flo demonstrated the emotional and social complexity of chimpanzees.
D. Flo encouraged Goodall to observe chimpanzees from an unprejudiced perspective.
26. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Roots and Shoots provides medical care for endangered chimpanzees.
B. Goodall set up centers for injured chimpanzees.
C. Goodall promotes education for all young Africans.
D. JGI offers assistance to community development.
27. Which of the following can best describe Jane Goodall
A. Persistent and devoted. B. Competitive and defensive.
C. Flexible and sociable. D. Loyal and modest.
C
A century ago, iodine (碘) deficiency was a significant health issue for children across much of the United States. With great efforts during the 1900s, the problem was largely eliminated after iodine was added to common foods, particularly table salt. However, doctors are now observing increasing cases in iodine deficiency, attributed to dietary shifts and modern food manufacturing practices.
Iodine, discovered accidentally by a French chemist in 1811, is an essential element which plays a crucial role in controlling metabolism and supporting healthy brain development in children and is found in seawater and certain soils, primarily in coastal areas. A common sign of iodine deficiency is the enlargement of the thyroid gland, known as a goiter (甲状腺肿大), which can lead to other health issues such as stunted growth and deafness.
In 1924, public health experts intervened by introducing iodized salt to address iodine deficiency. By the 1950s, over 70% of U.S. households used iodized salt, and iodine was also added to bread and other foods. As a result, iodine deficiency became rare in America. However, dietary habits have shifted significantly since then. Processed foods, which now dominate the American diet, often contain non-iodized salt. Additionally, many people prefer using specialty salts like kosher salt or Himalayan rock salt, which lack iodine.
Dr. Elizabeth Pearce of Boston Medical Center, a leader in the iodine Global Network, notes that iodine levels in the U.S, dropped by 50% between the 1970s and 1990s. She emphasizes that many people have forgotten the importance of iodine in salt. This decline is particularly concerning for pregnant and breastfeeding women, who require at least 150 micrograms of iodine daily to support infant brain development. Recent studies, including one from Michigan State University, found that about 25% of pregnant women are not meeting this requirement. Besides, many vitamins intended for them also lack iodine, promoting doctors 10 advise these women to check labels carefully.
Iodine deficiency also has been linked to lower IQ scores in children, though more research is needed to fully understand its impact on the U.S. population. Dr. Monica Serrano-Gonzalez of Brown University who has observed the troubling resurgence in iodine deficiency among children, particularly those with restricted diets, stresses that greater public awareness and education are essential to ensure that iodine remains a priority in public health so as to prevent the problem from worsening.
28. How was iodine deficiency addressed in the 20th century
A. By shifting people’s daily diet. B. By encouraging people to eat more seafood.
C. By advancing food processing practices. D. By introducing iodized salt.
29. What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A. Many pregnant women may not be acquiring adequate iodine.
B. Iodine deficiency is no longer a concern for pregnant women.
C. Vitamins are the primary source of iodine for pregnant women.
D. The significance of iodine is much too stressed.
30. What does the underlined word “resurgence” in paragraph 5 mean
A. reappearance. B. removal. C. resistance. D. reduction.
31. What is the main idea of the article
A. The once iodine deficiency problem has been rid of now.
B. Iodine is of great significance in Americans’ diet.
C. The iodine deficiency problem is staging a comeback.
D. Iodized salt is no longer necessary in modern diets.
D
The dramatic increase of digital platforms and instant reward mechanisms has given rise to a common modern challenge: low-level pleasure addiction. Defined by compulsive engagement in easily accessible, dopamine-driven behaviors—such as excessive social media scrolling, binge-watching, and junk food consumption—this phenomenon disrupts individual well-being and societal togetherness through neurobiological, physiological, and social pathways.
Low-level pleasures activate the brain’s reward mechanism, triggering rapid dopamine release. Unlike intellectually demanding activities such as creative work and learning, these stimuli require minimal effort but yield instant satisfaction. Over time, repeated exposure numbs dopamine receptors, creating a dependency cycle. The brain prioritizes immediate rewards over delayed satisfaction, leading to reduced motivation, emotional disorder, and increased risks of anxiety and depression. This neuroadaptation impairs the capacity to obtain pleasure from natural, effort-based achievements.
Sedentary (久坐的) lifestyles driven by prolonged screen time correlate with abnormal cardiovascular function, metabolic syndrome, and musculoskeletal disorders. In the meanwhile, the delicious and inviting foods but high in salt, sugar and fat are engineered to take advantage of reward pathways which worsen obesity, type 2 diabetes, and digestive issues. Sleep disruption, often caused by late-night digital engagement, further weakens immune function and cognitive performance, resulting in a self-reinforcing health decline.
Digital addiction gradually destroys interpersonal relationships by replacing face-to-face interactions with shallow virtual exchanges. This weakens emotional intelligence and empathy, fostering narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies and social isolation. As individuals prioritize personal satisfaction over communal experiences, civic engagement and community unity go down, accelerating societal fragmentation (分裂).
Addressing this issue demands a multidisciplinary approach. Mindfulness practices enhance self-awareness, enabling individuals to recognize and resist urges. Setting value driven long-term goals shifts focus from temporary rewards to sustainable fulfillment. Physical and cognitive activities—such as exercise, artistic expression, or skill development—reactivate neural pathways to natural rewards. Structured screen-time limits and prioritized in-person socialization rebuild communication skills and social bonds. For severe cases, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and support groups offer evidence based interventions to adjust behavior and brain chemistry.
Low-level pleasure addiction is a paradox of modernity: while technology expands access to enjoyment, its misuse endangers human potential. Recovery relies on balancing digital engagement with offline pursuits, emphasizing enduring well-being over short-lived stimuli. By integrating neuroscientific insights with behavioral strategies, individuals and societies can prevent this widespread threat, fostering resilience and overall health.
32. What can be inferred about the relationship between low-level pleasures and natural rewards
A. Natural rewards are more likely to cause dopamine tolerance.
B. Prolonged exposure to low-level pleasures weakens responses to natural rewards.
C. Low-level pleasures enhance the brain’s ability to process natural rewards.
D. Natural rewards require less effort to activate the brain’s reward system.
33. According to the passage, what is a physical consequence of low-level pleasure addiction
A. Improved cardiovascular function. B. Reduced risk of obesity.
C. Musculoskeletal disorders. D. Enhanced immune system.
34. According to the passage, why do low-level pleasures contribute to social isolation
A. They encourage face-to-face communication.
B. They replace virtual interactions with real-world relationships.
C. They prioritize personal satisfaction over communal experiences.
D. They enhance empathy and emotional intelligence.
35. Which of the following is recommended to solve low-level pleasure addiction
A. Prioritizing late-night screen time for relaxation.
B. Replacing artistic expression with digital engagement.
C. Increasing virtual interactions to strengthen social bonds.
D. Practicing mindfulness to improve self-awareness and prevent urges.

Change is a constant in life, yet many of us resist it. Whether it’s a new routine, a shift in career, or a change in personal relationships, we often find ourselves clinging to the familiar. But why do we resist change, and how can we overcome this resistance
36 When faced with something new, our brains often perceive it as a threat, triggering a stress response. This is rooted in our evolutionary history, where unfamiliar situations could mean danger. While this response was useful for survival in the past, it can have the opposite effect in modern life, where change is often necessary for growth.
Another factor is the comfort of routine. 37 When change disrupts our routines, it can feel uncomfortable and disorienting. However, stepping out of our comfort zones is essential for personal development.
To overcome resistance to change, it’s important to re-frame our perspective. 38 This shift in mindset can reduce anxiety and make the process of change more manageable. Additionally, breaking down changes into smaller and more manageable steps can make them less overwhelming. 39
In conclusion, while resistance to change is natural, it can be overcome by our understanding of the psychological factors behind our resistance and adopting strategies to manage it. 40 With the right mindset and approach, we can navigate life’s transitions with confidence and resilience.
A. Change always brings about negative results.
B. One reason for resistance to change is fear of the unknown.
C. We can embrace change as a necessary and beneficial part of life.
D. See change as an opportunity for growth instead of viewing it as a threat.
E. We should try to avoid changes as much as possible to lead a stable life.
F. We can gradually adapt to new circumstances by focusing on one small change at a time.
G. Our brains naturally tend to seek stability as it reduces cognitive load and conserves energy.

Seventeen-year-old Jack slammed his bedroom door with such force that the framed family photo rattled on the wall, the glass trembling as if mirroring his broken relationship with his parents. Another Friday night wasted on arguments. How could they possibly ban him from the camping trip—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with his friends—just because of a C+ in math “Safety first,” his father had explained, but Jack thought he knew the truth, It was all about control. They treated him like a lab rat, monitoring his every move.
At dinner, the tension built up like a pressure cooker. “ You track my grades like I’m some science experiment!” Jack shouted, roughly pushing his untouched lasagna aside. The dish banged noisily on the table, tomato sauce splattering the white tablecloth like bloodstains. His father’s knuckles (指关节) whitened around the fork, a vein beating in his temple. “Language, young man,” his mother warned, her voice unsteady. Normally so calm, she now looked like a leaf caught in a storm.
Jack stormed out into the September rainstorm, the door slamming behind him like a final punctuation mark. Raindrops stung his face, icy needles against his flushed skin. He didn’t care. Let them worry. Let them see how much they’d hurt him. Mud and water splashed beneath his sneakers as he walked slowly toward the woods, and the outline of the old oak tree ahead looked like a huge giant. Thunders shook the ground, and a jagged bolt of lightning split the sky. Jack froze as an earsplitting crack burst above—a sound like the world breaking in two. Before he could make any reaction, a massive oak branch crashed down, falling on him. Sharp pain burst out, burning and constant, pinning him to the muddy earth.

参考答案
第二部分 阅读
第一节
A
21. C. 根据第一段,参与者聚集在库珀山顶,追逐滚下山坡的奶酪(“chase a large wheel of double gloucester cheese as it rolls down the hill”)。选项C准确概括了这一行为。
22. B. 第一段提到山坡陡峭(“steep and grassy slope”),第二段提到参与者常因摔倒受伤(“many participants suffering minor injuries such as bruises and sprains”),直接对应选项B。
23. B. 第三段规则明确要求观众远离赛道(“spectators must stay clear of the race path to avoid accidents”),选项B正确。
B
24. A. They could think rationally and make tools.
第一段提到,Jane Goodall通过观察黑猩猩David Greybeard,发现黑猩猩能够制造和使用工具(chimpanzees were capable of making and using tools)。这一发现挑战了当时“只有人类具备理性思维和工具制造能力”的普遍观点(challenged the common belief that only humans possessed rational thought and tool-making abilities)。
25. C. Flo demonstrated the emotional and social complexity of chimpanzees.
第二段Goodall’s observations revealed the complex social structures and emotional lives of chimpanzees, particularly through her relationship with Flo, a mother chimpanzee, and her family. Flo’s nurturing behavior mirrored that of human mothers, deepening Goodall’s understanding of the similarities between humans and chimpanzees.(Goodall的观察揭示了黑猩猩复杂的社会结构和情感生活,特别是通过她与黑猩猩母亲弗洛及其家人的关系。Flo的养育行为反映了人类母亲的养育行为,加深了Goodall对人类和黑猩猩相似之处的理解。),故C选项Flo展示了黑猩猩的情感和社会复杂性符合。
26. D. JGI offers assistance to community development.
第三段 In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) to support conservation efforts and community development programs...(1977年,她创立了Jane Goodall研究所(JGI),以支持保护工作和社区发展计划......),故D选项JGI为社区发展提供了帮助符合。
27. A. 文中多次强调Goodall的坚持与奉献:她早期“坚持不懈终获成果”(第一段persistence paid off),面对挑战仍“致力于保护工作”(第三段remained committed to conservation),并通过毕生努力激励后代(最后一段tireless efforts to inspire future generations)。A项“坚持与奉献”最贴切。
C
28. D文章第三段In 1924, public health experts intervened by introducing iodized salt to address iodine deficiency. By the 1950s, over 70% of U.S. households used iodized salt, and iodine was also added to bread and other foods. As a result, iodine deficiency became rare in America.(1924年,公共卫生专家通过引入碘盐来干预碘缺乏症。到20世纪50年代,超过70%的美国家庭使用碘盐,面包和其他食物中也添加了碘。因此,碘缺乏症在美国变得罕见)。D项“通过引入碘盐”准确对应这一措施。
29. A第四段This decline is particularly concerning for pregnant and breastfeeding women, who require at least 150 micrograms of iodine daily to support infant brain development. Recent studies, including one from Michigan State University, found that about 25% of pregnant women are not meeting this requirement. (这种下降对孕妇和哺乳期妇女来说尤其令人担忧,她们每天需要至少150微克的碘来支持婴儿的大脑发育。最近的研究,包括密歇根州立大学的一项研究发现,大约25%的孕妇不符合这一要求。)由此可推断A项“许多孕妇可能碘摄入不足”正确。
30. A第五段提到儿童中碘缺乏“令人不安的 resurgence”,结合上下文语境(碘缺乏曾因碘盐普及减少,但现在因饮食变化重新出现),可推断“resurgence”意为重新出现(reappearance)。
31. C文章主旨围绕“碘缺乏问题卷土重来”展开:早期通过碘盐解决问题(第一、三段),但现代饮食变化导致碘缺乏重新加剧(第三段加工食品用非碘盐、第四段碘水平下降、第五段儿童病例增加)。C项“碘缺乏问题正在卷土重来”概括全文核心。
D
32. B第二段Low-level pleasures activate the brain’s reward mechanism, triggering rapid dopamine release. Unlike intellectually demanding activities such as creative work and learning, these stimuli require minimal effort but yield instant satisfaction. Over time, repeated exposure numbs dopamine receptors, creating a dependency cycle. The brain prioritizes immediate rewards over delayed satisfaction, leading to reduced motivation, emotional disorder, and increased risks of anxiety and depression. This neuroadaptation impairs the capacity to obtain pleasure from natural, effort-based achievements. (低水平的快乐会激活大脑的奖励机制,引发多巴胺的快速释放。与创造性工作和学习等智力要求高的活动不同,这些刺激需要最少的努力,但会产生即时的满足感。随着时间的推移,反复接触会使多巴胺受体麻木,从而形成依赖循环。大脑优先考虑即时的奖励而不是延迟的满足感,导致动机降低、情绪紊乱,焦虑和抑郁的风险增加。这种神经适应损害了从自然的、基于努力的成就中获得快乐的能力。) 本段中心意思是长期接触低级快乐会使多巴胺受体麻木(numb dopamine receptors),导致大脑优先选择即时奖励而非延迟满足,从而削弱从需要努力的自然成就中获得快乐的能力。选项B长期接触低级快乐会减弱对自然奖励的反应与原文逻辑一致。
33. C第三段Sedentary lifestyles driven by prolonged screen time correlate with abnormal cardiovascular function, metabolic syndrome, and musculoskeletal disorders. (长时间看屏幕导致的久坐不动的生活方式与心血管功能异常、代谢综合征和肌肉骨骼疾病有关。) 这句话明确提到久坐生活方式与肌肉骨骼疾病(musculoskeletal disorders)相关,选项C正确。选项A“改善心血管功能”和选项D“增强免疫系统”与原文描述的负面影响矛盾;选项B“降低肥胖风险”错误,因为高盐糖脂食品会加剧肥胖。
34. C第四段Digital addiction gradually destroys interpersonal relationships by replacing face-to-face interactions with shallow virtual exchanges. This weakens emotional intelligence and empathy, fostering narcissistic tendencies and social isolation. (数字成瘾通过用肤浅的虚拟交流取代面对面的互动,逐渐破坏了人际关系。这削弱了情商和同理心,助长了自恋倾向和社会孤立。)选项C他们把个人满足感放在公共体验之上直接对应这一因果逻辑。
35. D第五段Mindfulness practices enhance self-awareness, enabling individuals to recognize and resist urges. (正念练习增强了自我意识,使个人能够识别和抵制冲动。) 选项D与原文直接对应。
第二节
文章主要讨论人们为什么抗拒变化以及如何克服这种抗拒。
36. B第二段首句需引出“抗拒变化的原因”,后文When faced with something new, our brains often perceive it as a threat, triggering a stress response. (当面对新事物时,我们的大脑通常会将其视为威胁,从而引发压力反应。) 提到大脑将新事物视为威胁(brain perceives new things as threats),对应未知的恐惧(fear of the unknown),因此选B。
37. G第三段主题为“常规的舒适性”(comfort of routine),需解释大脑本能偏好稳定性。G选项“大脑自然寻求稳定以降低认知负荷”与上下文逻辑一致,衔接后文“打破常规带来不适”。
38. D第四段强调“重新定义视角”(re-frame perspective),后文This shift in mindset can reduce anxiety 要求“心态转变以减少焦虑”。D选项“将变化视为成长机会而非威胁”直接对应此建议,是核心策略。
39. F此处需补充“分解变化的实操方法”,前句breaking down changes into smaller and more manageable steps can make them less overwhelming提到“分解为小步骤”(smaller steps)。F选项“通过小改变逐步适应新环境”具体化该策略,符合段落逻辑。
40. C结论段需总结“接受变化的必要性”,呼应全文主旨。C选项“拥抱变化作为必要且有益的部分”作为结论句自然收尾,强化主题。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
本文是关于Nelson在深夜帮助一架直升机安全降落的故事。
41. B. circling飞机在机场附近“盘旋(circling)”,符合“听到小飞机声音”的语境。其他选项(导航、冒险、探索)均无法准确描述飞机在紧急情况下的状态。
42. A. late根据“11:30 at night”可知时间很晚(late),强调飞机深夜飞行异常,其他选项(快速、大声、模糊)与时间无关。
43. D. window从桑拿房出来后,跑向“窗户(window)”才能看到机场情况,其他地点(厨房、院子、花园)不符合情境。
44. C. drove上文提到“跳上吉普车”,因此“开车(drove)”去机场是合理动作,其他选项(潜水、旅行、逃跑)不匹配。
45. C. manually根据后文“按钮按多次无效”,说明需“手动(manually)”操作灯光,其他副词(热情地、方便地、动态地)不契合。
46. A. time“Not this time”(这次例外)是固定搭配,强调与往常不同,其他选项(机会、运气、状态)无法构成此表达。
47. C. urgent运送病人是“紧急(urgent)”任务,其他形容词(好奇的、可能的、秘密的)与医疗救援性质矛盾。
48. A. transport直升机用于“运送(transport)”病人,其他动词(孵化、后退、缓慢移动)不适用。
49. D. shone:“shine on”指将车灯“照射(shone)”在跑道上,其他动作(挥手、摇晃、划桨)不符合语境。
50. B. needed更多灯光被“需要(needed)”,邻居因此打电话协助,其他选项(避免、获得、减轻)逻辑不通。
51. C. directions:“Under directions”表示“在飞行员指示下”,其他名词(安慰、呼吁、选择)无法衔接动作指令。
52. B. lined up车辆在跑道边“排成一排(lined up)”,其他短语(建立、张贴、占据)不描述队列。
53. D. approach:“final approach”是航空术语,指降落前的“进近(approach)”,其他词(冒险、决定、表演)不相关。
54. A. loaded病人被“装载(loaded)”上飞机,其他动词(引导、转变、留下印象)与动作无关。
55. B. recovered女孩最终“康复(recovered)”,符合救援成功结局,其他选项(去世、被记住、被尊敬)偏离文意。
第二节
56. which分析句子结构可知,这里需要一个引导定语从句的关系代词,修饰先行词 “Iron Flower Fireworks”。“which” 可引导非限定性定语从句,在从句中作主语,所以填 “which”。
57. was listed: Iron Flower Fireworks 和 list 之间是被动关系,即 “打铁花” 被列为国家级非物质文化遗产。时间状语是 “in 2008”,表明是过去发生的动作,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,故填 “was listed”。
58. originated: “originate” 表示 “起源”,根据时间状语 “in the Northern Song Dynasty” 可知,该动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时,所以填 “originated”。
59. to: “be central to” 是固定短语,意为 “对……至关重要”,这里指火和金属元素对当地人民的生计至关重要,所以填 “to”。
60. To remove: “remove evil spirits and welcome prosperity” 是 “Iron Flower Fireworks” 后来与民间节日等融合的目的,作目的状语,应用动词不定式形式,故填 “To remove”。
61. ceremonies: “Taoist” 是形容词,修饰名词,“ceremony” 是可数名词,这里表示多种道教仪式,应用复数形式,所以填 “ceremonies”。
62. combining: “combine” 和 “‘Iron Flower Fireworks’” 之间是主动关系,“combining craftsmanship with communal celebration” 是现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰 “‘Iron Flower Fireworks’”,所以填 “combining”。
63. a: “event” 是可数名词单数,这里泛指一场公共活动,且 “public” 是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词 “a”。
64. safety: “ensure” 是及物动词,后面需要接名词作宾语,“safe” 是形容词,其名词形式是 “safety”,所以填 “safety”。
65. attractive: “fiery dance” 是名词短语,前面需要用形容词修饰,“attract” 是动词,其形容词形式是 “attractive”,表示 “有吸引力的”,所以填 “attractive”。

文章讲述了Jack因为和父母争吵,冲动跑出家门,在暴雨中被树枝砸伤,父母赶来救援的故事。
In the howling wind, he heard faint voices through the chaos. “Jack! Where are you ” The desperate cries pierced the thunderstorm. Through blurred vision, he saw his father’s figure battling the storm, flashlight beam slicing through the downpour. His mother’s trembling hands clawed at the fallen branch, her trimmed nails caked with mud and blood. “Hold on, son!” his father roared, shoulders straining against the massive limb. Jack gasped as the weight lifted slightly, his choked apology swallowed by the tempest. “We’ve got you,” his mother whispered fiercely, rain and tears streaming down her face.
In the ambulance, Jack’s vision blurred. His father’s calloused palm pressed against his cheek—a touch he hadn’t felt since childhood. “Your math teacher called,” his mother choked out, stroking his hair. “She said you stayed up helping classmates... We thought...” The beeping sound from the surveillance screen is like a guilty heartbeat. Jack’s trembling fingers found his parents’ intertwined hands. “The trip... maybe next year ” he asked. His father’s laughter sounded suspiciously wet. “We’ll get tents,” he vowed. Through pain and morphine haze, Jack finally saw it—the fear behind their rules, the love disguising as control.
