RECOMMENDED READ：A World of Wonders
From the pyramids of Giza to the Colossus of Rhodes，Bettany Hughes explores some of the
world’s most thrilling landscapes．In a landscape that values convenience and quick-fire progress
over all else，it’s a treat to look into the BCE years and discover the astonishing accomplishments
of leaders and kings long，long dead，some of which still puzzle the modern mind．
Hughes takes us through each of the Seven Ancient Wonders， not only wondering at the
construction and grandness but， perhaps more interestingly， the experiences of those who
imagined，built and enjoyed them．
This is not a book to be quickly understood，but enjoyed in delicious pieces，regularly glancing
from the page to inform whoever is nearby：“Did you know the Temple of Artemis was destroyed
and rebuilt three times， each more impressive than the last?”or “Did you know that when the
Pyramid of Giza was built，it was a waterside feature，and the Egyptian landscape was green?”
Thoroughly researched and cited，Hughes also appears to have visited many of the locations，
even those we can’t be sure of，and this first-hand accounting adds a much-needed element of
engagement to the otherwise fact-and date-heavy narrative．Recounting the unpleasant smell of bat
guano（夜明砂）while crawling through pyramid passageways，doing her own on-foot detective
work at Rhodes to discover the location of the Colossus，you can imagine her，not in a dusty library
but putting on an Indiana Jones style hat and adventuring for numerous legendary treasures．
21．What does Hughes focus on in her writing?
A．Quick-fire progress． B．Common sense．
C．Ancient wonders． D．Modern minds．
22．What can we learn about Hughes?
A．She prefers to describe delicious food．
B．She is fond of questioning the truth．
C．She is used to working in a dusty library．
D．She highlights hands-on experiences．
23．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To recommend a book． B．To introduce places of interest．
C．To attract tourists． D．To hunt for treasures．
B
Collingwood-Norris was playing with her new pet dog，Stitch，while wearing a favourite
second-hand find：a coral wool jumper．Stitch jumped up and grabbed her sleeve and tore several
holes in it with her sharp teeth．
Collingwood-Norris，now 37，wasn’t about to cast the item out．“I can’t bear to throw away
nice clothing just because of a hole，” she explains．As a knitwear designer based in Galashiels，
3
Scotland，she was used to making her own jumpers，but after she was left with a handful that had
dog-affected holes，she decided to tackle a new skill：mending．She began by reading a book called
Make Do and Mend，about the innovative thriftiness（节俭）that emerged during World War
．
Instead of trying to make the repair as small as possible，she turned to “visible mending”，a trend
in repairing clothes that leaves an intentionally obvious fix．Needleworkers add flowers，bright
squares or other small designs to damaged clothes．“Every time you do a repair，it’s like having a
new garment in your wardrobe，” says Collingwood-Norris．She’s even started to repair other
things，including a hole in the red sofa chair she’s sitting on during our video interview．
Sadly， we have become accustomed to replacing things instead of repairing them and the
garbage is piling up．Worldwide，we cast out 92 million tonnes of textiles（纺织品）every
year．Electronic waste is another growing problem：an estimated 50 million tonnes of it is created
each year around the world．
The good news is that fixing things can help solve the waste problem．It’s part of a larger shift
towards a circular economy—the idea that instead of casting out items once they are broken or out
of date，we reuse or repair them，keeping them out of the landfill for as long as possible．
About one-third of greenhouse gas emissions come from man-made goods and
consumables．According to a 2023 report from Circle Economy，a Netherlands-based NGO，if the
world switched to a circular economy we could lower the amount of material we need to extract
from nature by a third．Of course there is still something to do with the waste．
24．Why does the author mention Collingwood-Norris’ pet dog?
A．To show how lovely the dog was．
B．To introduce the topic of mending．
C．To highlight the second-hand jumper．
D．To tell an interesting story about the dog．
25．How did Collingwood-Norris deal with damaged clothes?
A．She threw them away． B．She stored them in a wardrobe．
C．She skillfully repaired them． D．She made the repairs as small as possible．
26．What can we learn about the circular economy?
A．It promotes sustainable use of resources．
B．It leads to greenhouse gas emissions．
C．It prevents production innovation．
D．It extracts more from nature．
27．What will be discussed in the following paragraphs?
A．Electronic waste． B．The video interview．
C．Man-made goods． D．Solutions to the waste problem．
C
What are these ants doing，gathering around a caterpillar? If you guessed eating，you’d be
right，but probably not in the way you imagined．
4
These ants are engaged in what’s called “tending”，and far from
being harmed by the interaction， the soft and weak caterpillar is
likely benefited．In fact，the caterpillar has a set of complex adaptations
that seem aimed at keeping ants nearby．Most striking among these is
an organ that secretes a nutritious liquid high in sugar．Exploring
worker ants eagerly consume the food and bring it back to their
habitats．The cost to the caterpillar is only the cost of producing these
little nutrition packets．
But why would a caterpillar want a murderous group of ants
collected around it? The answer is protection．For one thing，when you manage to get the attackers
on your side，they won’t attack you anymore：that is，the calm ants are no longer a threat to the
caterpillar．And in general，being a caterpillar is very dangerous．They have soft bodies，often feed
in the open，and are not known for their quick movement，making them easy food．In addition to
being eaten directly，there is a huge diversity of parasitoids（寄生）in the insect world，who lay
eggs inside caterpillars’ bodies and eat their way out．This kills the caterpillar．A standing guard of
ants，who generally protect their food sources and each other，lowers the caterpillar’s risk of being
parasitized． Thus， because this interaction is often mutually（相互） beneficial， we call it
mutualism，meaning that both the ants and the caterpillars do better because of it：ants get food and
caterpillars get protection．
In order to keep their attendants friendly，caterpillars can also release a strong combination of
chemicals，encouraging the ants to stick around，and hopefully keeping them from trying a bite of
caterpillars．This mixture is so effective that sometimes the ants can’t distinguish the smell of the
caterpillar from their own kind．If the ants are absent and an enemy approaches，some caterpillars
also make use of specialized organs that produce noises or smells， attracting ants from farther
away．
28．Which word best describes the relationship between caterpillars and ants?
A．Coexistence． B．Employment．
C．Separation． D．Independence．
29．What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Having a soft body and eating in the open．
B．Parasitoids laying eggs and eating out．
C．Moving at an amazingly low speed．
D．Ants robbing them of food sources．
30．Why do caterpillars release a strong mixture of chemicals?
A．To attack the surrounding ants． B．To keep ants from approaching．
C．To attract ants to keep them around． D．To communicate with other caterpillars．
31．What is the main topic of the text?
A．Ants’ survival strategies． B．Caterpillars’ defense skills．
C．The balance of insects． D．Ant-caterpillar pairings．

Some might say that handwriting has become a dying art since the appearance of the
typewriter in the mid-1880s，and even more so due to computers．In fact，many schools in the
United States no longer require teaching cursive（草体） as a part of the core
curriculum．However，despite the sense that writing on paper is out of fashion，it actually has a
number of very important benefits．
Writing by hand is not only important for language processing and memory but also for
cognitive（认知）development．A Psychology Today blog explains how learning to write by hand
teaches the brain “functional specialization” or，in other words，the best efficiency．When learning
to write by hand，the human brain must integrate sensation，movement control，and thinking，
which it does not do when learning to type．
The cognitive benefits of writing by hand are numerous，and there are many studies that can
prove that． A 2021 study by the University of Tokyo shows that writing on paper could help
students recall material better than typing on a keyboard． Similarly， a 2014 study from the
Association for Psychological Science shows that taking notes on a laptop，as opposed to writing
them longhand，leads to shallower processing of the learned material．This is because when using a
laptop，students often type out lectures word for word，instead of processing and rewording the
information in their own language．
These benefits actually translate to how you recall the information．In this case，writing it by
hand instead of typing also helps students perform better on exams．A study led by Dr．Virginia
Berninger，a professor at the University of Washington，suggests that children write longer and
more complex essays when they write by hand， as opposed to using a keyboard． “Children
consistently did better writing with a pen when they wrote essays．They wrote more，and they wrote
faster，” Berninger told Futurity．
So the next time you sit down to write an email to a loved one，consider the possibility that it
might be better for your brain if you wrote a handwritten letter instead．
32．What do we learn about handwriting from Paragraph 1?
A．It has its unique value．
B．It has become a new fashion．
C．Its cursive form is required in the US．
D．Its nature has been replaced by computers．
33．According to Paragraphs 2-3，writing by hand_______．
A．can result in less brain connectivity
B．can boost memory and understanding
C．might have little to do with recalling materials
D．might lead to shallower processing of information
34．What is the author’s attitude toward writing?
A．Critical． B．Uncertain． C．Tolerant． D．Supportive．
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Efficiency Comes First
6
B．More Complex Essays Are Needed
C．The Pen is Mightier than the Keyboard
D．Science Is the Primary Productive Force

Start Your Journaling Journey
When looking for a way to better manage stress and feel your best，consider adding journaling
to your regular wellness routine．This practice goes beyond just recording daily events． 36
Journaling acts as a mirror，reflecting your innermost thoughts，feelings，and behaviors．By
regularly putting pen to paper， you can uncover patterns， leading to increased
self-awareness． 37__ Just the act of recognizing how you feel can build self-confidence and
improve your mood．
38 Think of it as a safe space to express how you feel，leading to a significant decrease in
stress levels． Sometimes the first step in building the life you want starts with simple
awareness．Journaling gives you a chance to recognize what stresses you out in the first place．
As you launch your journaling journey， remember that the most important aspect is to
start．Even if you’ve never journaled before，it’s easy to begin． 39 Aim to journal at the same
time each day，whether you prefer the first thing in the morning or in the evening as a way to
decrease the pressure．Even just five minutes can help gain some clarity and reflection．
Think of your journal as your confidential space．Approaching journaling with honesty and
openness，free from self-judgment．Remember，there’s no right or wrong way to journal．It’s about
the process，not perfection． 40 This can explain your growth over time，patterns in your thinking
or behavior，and how you’ve navigated past challenges．Reflection can help harvest new
insights into your personal journey．
A．Consistency is key to the journaling．
B．Later，take time to read back through your entries．
C．Accept yourself in the present moment just as you are．
D．It’s also a pathway to deeper self-understanding and psychological flexibility．
E．This can be the first step toward meaningful change and personal growth．
F．Writing about your day，worries，or challenges acts as an emotional way out．
G．Journaling encourages a shift from a passive attitude to an active one to problems．

I was eight years old and forgot all the arrangements being made for our journey as a family
from Toowoomba to London in 1950．My mother was in great pain and wished to visit specialists
in London．Unwillingly My father had to sell our property “Hamilton Park” near Wallumbilla，in
south-west Queensland．
The day before we boarded the ship SS Orion，Father said a tender farewell to his five-year-old
red dog，Spider，who was loved by us all．Father’s friend Sandy had been getting to know Spider
for many weeks，as Sandy was to be his guardian（监护人）while we were overseas．We didn’t
know how long my mother’s treatment would take or how long we would be away．
Six weeks later，a blue air letter arrived from Sandy，giving my father the news that Spider had
run away just two weeks after we had sailed．I will always remember my father’s disappointed look
as he read this news． Sandy had advertised constantly on ABC radio and in other regional
newspapers．Despite many “sightings”，the dog was never found．It seems Spider just kept running
and searching for us．As he was a red dog，almost yellow in colour，my father thought he would be
shot or trapped，because of his appearance．But our family thought that Father held a secret hope
that Spider was still alive．
9
We sailed back to Australia two years later and re-established our home in Toowoomba．My
father immediately began his own search for Spider．The newspapers and radio were flooded by his
repeated calls to the people who had said they had seen his dog．Many false calls and sightings
meant that a huge atmosphere of disappointment hung over our household．My mother was fed up
with all this and impatient for my father to accept the inevitable．The dog was gone—possibly shot
or dead from starvation and exhaustion．
