A few years ago, I stood underneath a red overhanging cliff near my hometown. The weather

was amazing. Deer chewed on the brown grasses by the river below. An eagle rode the wind.

Townsfolk and visitors wandered in a nearby hot spring.

I was tied in, ready to climb. I was attempting to do a route first try, “onsight,” as we call it,

which means I didn’t know what I was climbing into. It would have been a hard on sight for me to

onsight hard climbs. You need clarity. No interference.

Just as I was about to climb, nerves in my body, which I hadn’t felt yet, said hello. That’s not

good for any athlete. Desperate, I painted a coat of confidence on my inner walls of doubt. I

visualized myself at the top, celebrating. “You can do this,” I firmly told myself. “If you believe,

success is certain.”

It didn’t work. I fell near the top. Defeated, I lowered to the ground and realized powerfully

that the desire to climb the route had kept me from doing it. My self-worth was bound together by

my success or failure at that moment, and that set off a chain reaction: unnatural desire, pressure,

performance anxiety, anticipation, a mind fascinated with the top but a body struggling below, bad

decision-making, irregular movement, distraction, frustration. All in that order, too.

In a flash, l told myself that on my next attempt, success or failure was irrelevant. “Make one

move at a time. That’s all.” 1 gave myself a pass from whatever would happen. It worked. I

floated to the top with self-control and clarity.

3 / 13

学科 网(北 京)股 份有限 公司

That moment got me thinking. At some point, I framed this experience for myself in terms of

simple mathematics. When I added determination, courage, self-confidence and desire, I failed.

When I took away the desire for success, I improved. I enjoyed it more as well, which, as an

athlete of 30 years, I didn't think was possible. Eventually, I discovered the power of subtraction.

24. What can we infer from the author's first attempt?

A. He managed to reach the top of the cliff.

B. He fully knew what he was climbing into.

C. He was confident in his own ability to get over obstacles.

D. He employed mental practice in order to overcome his nervousness.

C. To describe a social phenomenon. D. To explain the reason for his failure.

Feel exhausted after a party? Rather see one close friend than a group of acquaintances?

Enjoy your own company? In our world, that makes you an introvert(内向的人).However, there’s

another possible explanation—vertical attachment. If you are closer to your parents and family

members than to your peers, you are vertically attached, which means you rely more on family for

comfort.

If you are closer to your peers, then you are peer attached. We live in a peer-oriented world.

We believe that having lots of friends means that we are well-adjusted. We put our kids in

playgroups and daycare for peer interaction. We expect teenagers to want to hang out with their

friends, thinking it is the natural way of things.

Result? Generations often feel worlds apart. We use different language, dress, and technology

apps. Even if multiple generations are invited to the same party, the kids go to the basement

playroom while the parents stay upstairs.

Vertically-attached individuals can feel out of place in this context, demonstrating the traces

of introversion. Will they be exhausted after a party with same-aged acquaintances? Absolutely.

Would they rather spend time with one close friend? Sure. Do they enjoy alone time? Yes, more

than they enjoy time fitting in with peers.

It’s normal that many people need alone time to recharge. However, vertically-attached

people often label themselves as introverted. They feel insecure that others have more friends and

live richer lives. They claim that their family attachments arise from their loved ones being stuck

with them.

If you feel these insecurities, know that there is nothing wrong with you, and you are not

missing out on anything. Your attachment style is just different from the culture where you live.

Have confidence in the strength of the relationships you have, whether it is with a mom who feels

more like a best friend, or a grandmother with whom. you can share anything. They are

meaningful, enriching relationships, even if they look different from the cultural norm.

A new study conducted by researchers from the University of Bath illustrates that flowering

plants escaped relatively unharmed from the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs 66 million

years ago. While they suffered some species loss, the devastating event helped flowering plants

become the dominant type of plant they are today.

Numerous mass extinctions have occurred throughout Earth’s history, the most famous

caused by an asteroid( 小 行 星 ) hit 66 million years ago. The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg)

extinction event wiped out at least 75% of all species on Earth, including the dinosaurs, but until

now it has been unclear what kind of impact it had on flowering plants.

Plants do not have skeletons (骨骼) or exoskeletons like most animals, meaning fossils are

relatively rare compared to animals , making it very difficult to understand the timeline of

evolution from fossil evidence alone.

Dr. Jamie Thompson of the Milner Centre for Evolution and Dr. Santiago Ramirez-Barahona

of Universidad Nacional Autnoma de Mxico analyzed evolutionary “trees” constructed from

changes in the DNA sequences( 顺 序 ) of up to 73,000 living species of flowering

plants—angiosperms( 被 子 植 物 ). Using complex statistical methods, they fitted birth-death”

models to estimate the rates of extinction throughout geological time.

While the fossil record shows that many species did disappear, the ancestry to which they

belong, such as families and orders, survived enough to flourish and then dominate. Evidence

suggests that the vast majority of angiosperms families around today existed before the K-Pg

event, of which some once shared Earth with the dinosaurs. Dr. Thompson said, “After most of

Earth’s species became extinct at K-Pg, angiosperms took the advantage, similar to the way in

which mammals took over after the dinosaurs, and now pretty much all life on Earth depends on

flowering plants ecologically.”

So what made them tough enough to survive despite being immobile and relying on the sun

for energy? Dr. Ramirez-Barahona said, “Flowering plants have a remarkable ability to adapt.

They use a variety of seed-dispersal and pollination (授粉) mechanisms. Some have copied their

entire genomes and others have evolved new ways to make use of solar energy.”

32. What does the underlined word “devastating” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Depressing. B. Destructive. C. Degrading. D. Delicate

33.How did the two scientists conduct their research?

A. By studying fossil. B. By analyzing skeletons.

C. By building data models. D. By observing living species

34.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Flowering plants once coexisted with dinosaurs on Earth.

B. Mammals took advantage of the dinosaurs in the evolution.

C. Dinosaurs disappeared because of an asteroid hit 66 billion years ago.

D. Without fossil evidence, the timeline of the plants’ evolution is unclear.

35. What can be the best title of the passage?

A. Nature’s True Survivors B. The K-Pg Event

C. The Plants’ Narrow Escape D. Dinosaurs’ Failure in Evolution

Disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes or wildfires are typically unexpected, sudden and

overwhelming. For many people, there are no outwardly visible signs of physical injury. But there

can be an emotional damage. 36 Understanding responses to painful events can help you

cope effectively with your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and help you along the path to

recovery.

Luckily, most people are resilient (有适应力的) and over time are able to bounce back from

tragedy. It is common for people to experience the immediate consequences. Within a few months,

however, most people are able to resume functioning as they did prior to the disaster. 37

Give yourself time to adjust. Anticipate that this will be a difficult time in your life. 38

And try to be patient with changes in your emotional state.

Engage in healthy behaviors to enhance your ability to cope with extreme stress. Eat

well-balanced meals and get plenty of rest. If you experience ongoing difficulties with sleep, you

may be able to find some relief through relaxation techniques. Establish or reestablish routines.

This can include eating meals at regular times, sleeping and waking on a regular cycle, or

following an exercise program. 39 For example, pursuing a hobby, or reading a good

book is just among the recommended helpful routines.

40 Switching careers or jobs and other important decisions tend to be highly

stressful in their own right and even harder to take on when you are recovering from a disaster.

A. Avoid making major life decisions.

B. Be brave enough to make critical life decisions.

C. Allow yourself to mourn the losses you have experienced.

D. Join those who have the similar experiences with you to relieve your pain.

E. Try to get involved in something you look forward to during these distressing times.

F. It is common for people who have experienced disasters to have strong emotional

reactions.

G. It is of great importance to remember that resilience and recovery are the norm, not the

lasting pain.

I’m not athletic. In high school, for example, I joined the soccer team for a year, ending up as

a 41 .

In 2020, I was in a difficult stage of life and wanted something to fight for. Therefore, though

I’d never run even 5 kilometers before, I entered the lottery(抽签) to run a marathon, a 42

one kilometer proved too hard, so I adjusted the 44 . I ran several minutes at a time, and

Last year I decided to 49 my own business: a performing arts training centre for

So, again: I read books, talked to friends and found 52 _. Through it all, I became a

I was a broke university student. I should have been going to university on a scholarship

because I came from a low-income family, but a last-minute 100-a-year pay rise for my mum

pushed my family over the threshold (门槛) for what defined “low-income” and I was suddenly

no longer qualified for 15,000 a year in scholarship money. This news came after I’d been

accepted by the university and signed the lease(租约) for my accommodation.

Despite my family not being labelled low-income anymore, I still wouldn’t receive any

financial support from my family as all the income went toward taking care of my disabled brother

and paying their own bills. It would be tight, but because I had savings from my part-time job, I

decided to go to university anyway. After paying my rent, I had 10.20 a week for everything else

including food, toiletries, and school supplies.

As I was in a new city, I really wanted to make friends, which was difficult when most of the
