One Mother to Another
On Wednesday evening, our daughter, who was at a boarding school over 200 kilometers away, told us that she had lost her phone when she took part in an activity off campus. We realized that we had little chance of finding it.
The next morning, my phone beeped (哔哔响) loudly. A kind voice announced that she had something that belonged to my daughter. I 21 that I lived a three—hour drive away, and told her I would ask a friend to fetch the phone. My daughter had written my number on the inside of her phone's case—good thinking!
After contacting the people I know who lived near the school, I was out of 22 no one could go and 23 the phone, not surprisingly as it was the working day and everyone was busy.

To my 25 , this wonderful couple, who had already spent a busy day at work, was making a round trip on the night, 26 for returning a phone to a complete stranger. How touching it was!
I gave them directions and they 27 the phone into the hands of my daughter at her boarding house. The only word of an explanation was, "I've got children of my own, and I know how a mother 28 ."

A
Arbeia Roman Fort and Museum

Location and History
Arbeia Roman Fort is situated on Hadrian's Wall. It was the most important structure built by the Romans in Britain, and now it has been a World Heritage Site. Built around AD 160, Arbeia Roman Fort was the military supply base for the soldiers who were stationed along Hadrian's Wall. The fort has been gradually uncovered and some original parts have been revealed. There are reconstructions that show how Arbeia Roman Fort would have looked.
The Reconstructions
The reconstructions of the Commanding Officer's house and soldiers' quarters are strikingly different. The accommodation for soldiers is dark and uncomfortable, while the Commanding Officer's house is spacious and luxurious, with courtyards with fountains for him and his family to enjoy.
The Museum
Visit the museum and see many objects that were found at Arbeia. They are historically important and show what daily life was really like at that time. You will see weapons, tools, jewellery, and so on. You can also discover how the Romans buried their dead and see tombstones which survive to this day. There is a "hands—on" area allowing visitors to dig on a certain site and study their findings with the help of museum staff. You can piece together pottery (陶器), or try writing just as the Romans would have done. For children, they can build this Roman fort with building blocks by themselves.

B
Learning to say "yes, and"
When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴交流) class, I was hesitating. As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like a perfect chance to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.
During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: "yes, and." It means that, as improvisers, we'd better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say "yes" and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.
The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn't grow out of the information I'd presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the "yes, and" approach—accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find an appropriate answer. I got pretty excited about it.
The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell—one that isn't behaving as expected.
I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it's worth finding out whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn't to challenge data that support, a preconceived story, but to say "yes, and."
34. Why did the author attend the improvisation class?
A. To get a different experience.
B. To finish her Ph.D. at university.
C. To give up her job as a science communicator.
D. To improve her speaking and communicating ability.
35. What was the author's change after attending the improvisation class?
A. She formed her own idea quickly.
B. She came up with lots of creative responses.
C. She paid more attention to the logic of answers.
D. She became a good listener before giving an opinion.
36. The author mentions applying the "yes, and" approach to her scientific experiments to _______.
A. explain the process of using the method
B. prove the benefits of the improvisation class
C. share her own research experiences with readers
D. attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class
37. What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph?
A. They should attend the improvisation class.
B. They should question all preconceived ideas.
C. They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.
D. They should try to improve their academic knowledge.
C
Success and Risk in Extreme Sports
What is it that drives some to take extreme risks, while the rest of us hurry for the safety of the sidelines?
Lester Keller, sports—psychology expert, says that not everyone has the mental makeup to do well in extreme sports. He notes that most of us hit a natural ceiling that limits our appetite for extreme risk in tricky conditions. But others have a much higher tolerance for risk. Keller points to a top ski racer. He told Keller that "the high element of risk makes you feel alive, tests what you are made of and how far you can take yourself". He said he would get nervous on some of the courses, but that this would just make him fight more.
Psychologists note that some people seem to have a strong desire for adrenaline (肾上腺素) rushes as a behavior seeking excited feelings. Like many extreme athletes, Emily Cook's appetite for risk appeared at a young age. "I was a gymnast," she said. "I was one of those kids who enjoyed and did well at anything where you were upside down.'" As she started doing harder tricks, she was drawn to the challenge. "There are moments when you're up there doing a new trick and it seems like an impossible thing. But overcoming that is just the coolest feeling in the world."
Shane Murphy, sports professor, has worked with groups climbing Everest. "To me, that just seems like the height of risk," he said. "But to them it was the next step in an activity that they've prepared for years." Murphy said the view of extreme athletes is different from our own. "We look at a risky situation and know that if we were in that situation we would be out of control. But from the athletes' view, they have a lot of control, and there are many things that they do to minimize risk."
Another aspect of risk perception (认知) may be something referred to as "the flow", a state in which many athletes become absorbed in the acts that focus the mind completely on the present. "Something that makes you try doing a tougher climb than usual, perhaps, is that your adrenaline flows and you become very concentrated on what you're doing," Murphy says. "After it's over, there's great excitement."
People of different skill levels experience the flow at different times. Some may always be driven to adventures that others consider extreme. "I can enjoy hitting a tennis ball around, because that's my skill level," Murphy says. "But others might need the challenge of Olympic competition."
38. By using the term "natural ceiling" in Paragraph 2, Lester Keller points out that __________.
A. extreme athletes must learn special skills
B. extreme athletes have chances to take risks
C. many people don't want to do extreme sports
D. many people can't limit desire for extreme sports
39. What does Shane Murphy think about the mountain climbers he mentions?
A. They put in lots of preparation for challenges.
B. They are more fortunate than other sportspeople.
C. They carry little risk when facing big challenges.
D. They have special reasons that others can't easily understand.
40. What main point is made in Paragraph 5?
A. Extreme athletes use techniques other people don't use.
B. Non—athletes are probably wise not to try extreme sports.
C. Most people lack the focus required to take bigger risks.
D. A certain state of mind makes attempting an activity more likely.
41. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. risk—taking is something you either naturally do or avoid
B. those who take risks are more likely to be successful in life
C. extreme athletes are driven by a need to be better than others
D. taking part in extreme sports is not as difficult as people think
D
Alzheimer's AI
An estimated 5.7 million people in the U.S. have Alzheimer's disease——the most common type of dementia (痴呆)—and that number is expected to more than double by 2050. Early diagnosis (诊断) is crucial for patients to benefit from the few treatments available. But no scans can deliver a conclusive diagnosis while a person is alive; instead doctors have to conduct numerous and complicated clinical and neuropsychological tests. So there is growing interest in developing artificial intelligence to identify Alzheimer's based on brain imaging.
Researchers at the University of California, have now successfully trained an AI algorithm (算法) to recognize one of the early signs of Alzheimer's——a reduction in the brain's glucose (葡萄糖) consumption——in positron emission tomography (PET/正电子放射断层造影术) imaging.
The algorithm accurately predicted an eventual Alzheimer's diagnosis in nearly all the test cases, according to the study. In PET imaging, a very small amount of a radioactive compound are put into the body, producing three—dimensional images of metabolism (新陈代谢),circulation and other cellular activities. PET is well suited for an AI diagnostic tool because Alzheimer's leads to small changes in the brain's metabolism that begin years before neural tissue starts to go downhill, says study co—author Jae Ho Sohn. These changes are "very hard for radiologists to pick up," he notes.
The algorithm was trained and tested on 2,100 PET brain images from about 1,000 people 55 years and older. The images came from a 12—year study that tracked people who would ultimately be diagnosed with Alzheimer's, as well as those with mild memory declines and healthy control participants. The algorithm was trained on 90 percent of the data and tested on the remaining 10 percent. It was then retested on a second, independent data set from 40 patients monitored for 10 years. The algorithm was highly sensitive and was able to recognize 81 percent of the patients in the first test group and 100 percent in the second who would be diagnosed with Alzheimer's six years later, on average. The findings were published in February in Radiology.
The algorithm is based on deep learning, a machine—learning technique that uses artificial neural networks programmed to learn from examples. "This is one of the first promising applications of deep learning to the diagnosis of Alzheimer's," says Christian Salvatore, who was not involved in the study. "The model performs very well when identifying patients with mild or late diagnoses", he says, "but catching it in the earliest stages remains one of the most critical open issues in this field."
42. People are increasingly interested in using AI to identify Alzheimer's because ________.
A. the number of people suffering from dementia is more than doubling
B. diagnostic methods that are both reliable and convenient are in need
C. there are only a limited number of effective therapies for the patients
D. diagnosing Alzheimer's disease through AI is still an unexplored area
43. What can we learn about PET imaging?
A. It recognizes the worsening of the neural tissue.
B. It reduces the glucose consumption in the brain.
C. It changes the pattern of the brain's metabolism.
D. It photographs various kinds of cellular activities.
44. According to Paragraph 4, _________.
A. 90% of the people in the study were trained on the algorithm
B. the participants in the study consist of people both young and old
C. 81% of the people in the first test group were diagnosed with Alzheimer's
D. the algorithm managed to recognize all the patients in the second test group
45. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5?
A. The algorithm serves as a promising treatment of Alzheimer's.
B. Deep learning has been widely applied in diagnosing Alzheimer's.
C. To detect Alzheimer's in its earliest stages calls for more exploration.
D. Whether to use the model to detect Alzheimer's remains a critical issue.
