Despite an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of students in large lecture hall, Tatiana
Erukhimova, who teaches physics at Texas A&M University, has managed to get her students, as
well as future generations, excited about the science,
Known as Dr. Tatiana. the professor performs physics tricks with boundless energy and
enthusiasm in her videos. A range of everyday objects are used in her experiments, from pingpong
balls and toilet paper to marshmallows. bicycle wheels and hair dryers. Videos of her dramatic
demonstrations have received hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms.
Page 4 of 13
However, things aren't always easy. When she first started teaching college freshman classes
two decades ago, she also struggled to grab the attention of her students. I did not grab their attention
on the first day-that was my mistake. she says. I missed this opportunity to bond with them from
the very beginning, and then it took me a while to find my voice.
By the second semester, she found her footing, adjusting her approach to get her students
engaged. The key, she says, has been to make herself approachable and her instruction personal. And,
of course, add showy demonstrations. These demonstrations often help students to connect these
abstract concepts with real life.” she says.
Physics department head Grigory Rogachev says Erukhimova's work has helped bring visibility
to the department, with about 2. 5 million subscribers on its department's YouTube page, which has
translated to a boost in research funds and physics major applicants.
As a leader in a STEM field in which women are underrepresented, she's become a role model
for some. Afiya Dhanani attended Texas A&M University after seeing Erukhimova's videos online.
Watching Dr. Tatiana do the experiments online, especially since she was a female leader. Was more
inspiring for me to even go into physics. Dhanani said in an interview with CBS Mornings. That's
all Erakhimova says she can hope for -making physics less forbidding. and more exciting.
24. What does Erukhimova's online videos feature?
A. Rare materials. B. Energetic presentation.
C. Plain demonstration. D. Professional explanation.
25. Which saying explains Erukhimova's initial failure to grab students' attention 20 years ago?
A. All that glitters is not gold. B. Sharp tools make good work.
C. First impressions are make or break. D. A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.
26. How does Erukhimova's work contribute to the physics department?
A. It leads more students to change their majors.
B. It makes more people to know about the department.
C. It helps the department translate more research papers.
D. It attracts more physics professors to join the department.
27. Which word best describes Erukhimova as a leader in a STEM field?
A. Inspirational. B. Underestimated. C. Cooperative. D. Ambitious.

The taste of champagne as we know it could change beyond recognition in the coming years. As
global temperatures continue to rise, the climate crisis poses a threat to the production of wine.
The supply of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, among other popular wine-making
grapes, are at risk. By 2050, about 85% of the lands that we grow good wine grapes on will no longer
produce suitable wine grapes.
Grapes are susceptible to even the most subtle changes in weather. Wine is kind of the canary
(金丝雀) in the coal mine for climate change impacts on agriculture because so much of the
character of wine is tied to the local climate. said Benjamin Cook, a climate scientist. He published a
paper in 2020 examining the effects of climate change on agriculture and how the diversity of grapes
can increase their resilience to such changes.
He adds that scientists are seeing pretty much all plants, including wine grapevines, start their
lifecycle in the growing season earlier, and often finish up earlier. You basically ripen your fruit
earlier and typically you harvest earlier. In the Champagne region of France, these changes can alter
the distinctive personalities of grapes grown there. If it matures too quickly, the ratio of acidity and
sugar might be different. Cook said.
A grape's qualities are dependent on its environment. With a warming planet, it's harder to
produce grapes that make champagne taste sweeter and boozier (酒精浓度高的). For instance,
in a chardonnay grape, what you're looking for in a cooler climate is generally an apple taste, whereas
in a warmer climate the warmth can change the grapes qualities to be more like a tropical fruit, or
even banana-like. said Spiess.
One of the many ways farmers and winemakers are trying to alleviate the effects of climate
change on grape production is site selection. Places like Belgium and the Netherlands and Sweden,
they're experiencing positive effects of climate change as the planet is warming. Spiess said. As
different regions in the world experience the effects of climate change differently, they may start to
have more ideal climate conditions for wine making.
The downside for those Swedish winemakers? If those champagne grapes aren't grown in the
Champagne region of France, you can't call it champagne, which is a protected designation of origin.
So how do you say bubbly in Swedish?
28. How does the climate change threaten the production of wine?
A. By increasing the diversity of grapes.
Page 6 of 13
B. By increasing the cost of wine making.
C. By intensify the competition between winemakers.
D. By reducing the production of suitable wine-making grapes.
29. What does the underlined word susceptible in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Sensitive. B. Resistant. C. Adaptable. D. Tolerant.
30. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The lifecycle of wine grapevines is becoming longer.
B. A chardonnay grape may taste like banana in cooler climate.
C. Grapes' ratio of acidity and sugar influences champagne's taste.
D. Wine making in Sweden faces the same challenge as that in France.
31. Which can be the best title of the text?
A. Will champagne become sweeter?
B. Why is champagne called champagne?
C. Could Champagne soon stop producing champagne?
D. What impact does climate change have on agriculture?
D
A fallacy is an error in reasoning based on opinion, misunderstanding, or intentional
misdirection that makes an argument invalid. Common causation (因果关系) fallacies include
those of oversimplification and exaggeration, which occur when actual 'causes of an event are reduced
to the point where connections between causes and effects are blurred or buried.
Oversimplification is common, which means reducing multiple causes to just one or a few. Well-
intentioned writers and speakers can fall into the trap of oversimplification if not careful.
One motivation for simplification is the basic advice given to writers: Don't get stuck in details.
In the process, however, a writer can leave out too many details, even critical information. Another
contributing factor to oversimplification is the overuse of an important tool in critical thinking called
Oceam's Razor, a principle that states that the simplest explanation that fits the data is the preferable
one. The problem is that the simplest explanation might not always be the right-one.
A writer creating an argument can assume that based on Occam's Razor, the simplest explanation
is likely true, but they must not assume that is always the case. They must look at all angles and
complexities of an issue before settling on the simplest explanation.
Page 7 of 13
Here is an example of oversimplification:
School violence has gone up and academic performance has gone down since video games
featuring violence were introduced. Therefore, video games with violence should be banned, resulting
in school improvement.
This argument exhibits oversimplification because it assumes problems in schools (increasing
violence, decreasing academic performance can be attributed to a single cause: the time young people
spend playing video games that feature violence. Various other factors, including social and economic
conditions that may contribute to a child's mental health, are ignored.
Related to the fallacy of oversimplification is the fallacy of exaggeration-multiplying a couple
of causes into many.
32. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A. The causes of oversimplification. B. The impact of oversimplification.
C. The definition of oversimplification. D. The characteristics of oversimplification.
33. How do writers commit oversimplification when creating an argument based on Occam's-
Razor?
A. They consider an issue to be complicated.
B. They look at an issue from different angles.
C. They believe the simplest explanation is likely true.
D. They have absolute trust in the simplest explanation.
34. Which of the following statements is an example of oversimplification?
A. The nation's lack of moral standards is caused by multiple factors.
B. The latest currency policy takes full blame for the declining economy.
C. She was saved because of the seal belt as well as doctors' timely saving.
D. The problem of education not just lies in teachers' failure of doing their jobs.
35. What might the author discuss in the paragraphs that follow?
A. Ways to avoid oversimplification.
B. More examples of oversimplification.
C. Causes and examples of exaggeration.
D. The distinction between exaggeration and oversimplification.

Friends are incredibly important people in our lives. Some are with us for decades. 36 Here
are some tips to remember if you're processing the loss of a friend.
Sometimes things just don't work out.
37 In fact, people, on average, lose about half of their friends every seven years. One of the
most common reasons those relationships end is that they just fell through the cracks. Things didn't
work out. Nobody really wanted the friendship to end, but people got busy and didn't intentionally
maintain the friendship.
Make the unsaid said.
Sometimes, in friendship, people don't make the unsaid said. 38 And because they're never
directly addressed, people get to a point where they want to end the friendship before actually
addressing the problem. Actually, if they had intervened sooner, they might have been able to save
the friendship.
It's normal to feel grief.
When a friendship ends, there is a grieving process. Allow yourself to feel those emotions and
be patient. Instead of pushing yourself to cheer up, try thinking like this, Of course I'm upset. This
is a natural part of intimacy (亲密关系) and loss. I lost someone I'm very close to. 39
40
It's important not to blame yourself and be mean to yourself for not getting over the loss of a
friendship. Just because this happened like this doesn't mean more friendships will happen like this.
Allow yourself to have a fresh perspective when you enter new friendships. You don't want to go into
a new connection fearfully.
A. That means I love them deeply.
B. Be kind to yourself along the way.
C. Find ways to enter a new friendship.
D. Small things can kind of accumulate.
E. Losing friends is a regular part of life.
F. But not all of them can stand the test of time.
Page 9 of 13
G. When a close friendship ends, the reasons are complicated.
