Life May Actually Flash Befre Yur Eyes n Death
New data frm a scientific “accident” has suggested that life may actually flash befre ur eyes as we die.
A team f scientists set ut t measure the brainwaves f an 87-year-ld patient wh (21) _____ (develp) epilepsy (癫痫) fr many years. But during the neurlgical (神经学的) recrding, he suffered a fatal heart attack, (22) _____ (ffer) an unexpected recrding f a dying brain.

Hw Digital Mdeling Plays a Key Rle in Restring the Ntre Dame Cathedral (巴黎圣母院)
It’s been mre than fur years since a fire damaged Ntre Dame, the Cathlic cathedral in Paris that’s histrically drawn millins f visitrs every year.
Since then, peple frm arund the wrld have united t supprt an effrt, 31 by French President, that’s intended t have the building back pen t the public by the end f next year. Teams wrking t restre the Gthic cathedral have 32 t rebuild much f the damaged sectins using materials like ak wd (橡木) and stne that have std the test f centuries.
But the builders, architects and engineers d have the 33 f sme 21st century technlgies, including mdern building infrmatin mdeling (BIM) sftware that enables them t wrk with a(n)
34 detailed 3D digital mdel f the cathedral and surrunding site, backed by pwerful clud cmputing technlgy.
“It allws yu t really understand a lt f hw a building fits tgether, hw it’s cnstructed,” says Andrew Anagnst, CEO f design sftware 35 Autdesk. It has cntributed technical cnsulting, sftware and financial assistance t the prject since shrtly after the fire. A digital mdel, which tk mre than a year t create, includes mre than 12,000 bjects.
It was a cmplex prcess. Onsite wrkers captured the pint-by-pint 3D 36 f the cathedral with laser (激光) and pht equipment. Then, thers turned the data pints frm that prcess int detailed shapes and bjects, dwn t individual building stnes. That let experts see hw the building shifted in the fire — imprtant fr 37 any stability issues — and plan ut the prcess f recnstructin.
“It’s like Missin: Impssible when they plan,” says Niclas Mangn, VP f architecture, engineering and cnstructin industry strategy at Autdesk. “Every little piece is dne 38 , and with the 3D mdel yu can simulate (模拟) everything.”
Even when the cathedral is 39 , the mdel may still serve imprtant rles. Mangn says the cmpany is currently in discussins abut using it t manage aspects f the cmplex ging frward,
40 using sensrs that culd shw the exact lcatin f any future fires.
III. Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Sea levels alng castlines in the United States will rise abut ne ft by 2050, with larger increases n the East and Gulf casts, accrding t a cmprehensive new reprt by climate scientists.
Oceans have already risen abut ne ft in the last century, as climate change melts glaciers (冰川) and ice caps arund the wrld. But the pace is 41 , scientists warn, and the next 30 years will see the same amunt f sea level rise as the previus 100.
The reprt gives the mst cncrete and certain sea level 42 U.S.r published fr the U.S. And advances in cmputer mdels and real-wrld infrmatin abut rising seas make it pssible t see the future mre 43 than ever.
Sea level rise 44 fr different parts f the U.S. cast. The cean is nt like a bucket f water that rises at the same time as mre liquid is 45 . Ocean 46 push mre water int sme areas than thers. Ice in different regins melts at different rates. In many parts f the wrld, sea level rise is 47 because castal land is sinking.
The new reprt adds up all thse factrs t give 48 fr different parts f the U.S. The authrs predict abut a ft and a half f sea level rise fr the Gulf Cast by 2050, with particular ht spts frm Texas t Mississippi, where explitatin f undergrund il, gas and drinking water is causing the land t rapidly 49 int the rising cean water. There are 50 ht spts in the Mid-Atlantic regin, including Annaplis, Md. and Nrflk, Va. Overall, the East Cast is 51 t experience a little mre than a ft f sea level rise in the next 30 years.
Sea level rise is happening mre 52 n the West Cast, including much f suthern and western Alaska, the reprt finds. The authrs predict abut six inches f sea level rise by 2050.
William Sweet, a sea level rise expert with the Natinal Oceanic and Atmspheric Administratin (NOAA) and ne f the authrs f the new reprt, says cities that are nt yet flded shuld 53 nw. Quickening sea level rise may require that humans 54 where and hw we build hmes, ffices, rads and anything else that is better dry than wet. Right nw, develpment in fld-prne (易发洪水的) areas is increasing, despite climate change.
Beynd 2050, the reprt makes clear that humans have a 55 : reduce greenhuse gas emissins and cntrl sea level rise, r keep burning fssil fuels and face ceans that are tw, three r even 10 feet higher than tday.

Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
Mst teachers assign nvels fr students t read nt write. But many teachers natinwide are nt nly asking students t read nvels but als giving them a mnth t write them.
Yes, yu read that right: ne mnth.
Hwever, students participating in Nvember’s Natinal Nvel Writing Mnth (NaNWriM) d nt cmplain abut being verwrked. Instead, they have been knwn t ask, “Can we wrk n ur nvels tday?” That’s because, abve all, NaNWriM is meant t be fun. An exercise in “seat-f-yur-pants” nvel writing, it has almst n rules.
The Office f Letters and Light is the nnprfit behind the event. It believes this carefree apprach encurages writers t take imaginative risks and truly enjy their wrk. Funded in 1999, the adult versin f the event requires nly that yu cmmit yurself t making an attempt at nvel writing and submitting a nvel f 50,000 wrds, n matter hw gd r bad they are, by the end f Nvember.
Since 2005, NaNWriM has entered many classrms, including thse f Natinal Writing Prject teachers, thrugh its Yung Writers Prgram. In additin, teachers receive a classrm kit featuring a prgress chart, stickers t mark wrd cunts, and buttns fr writers wh crss the finish line.
Abut 1,800 classrms and 45,000 kids and teens participated last year. The rules fr under-18 writers are the same as thse fr adults. But there is ne imprtant exceptin: yung writers can pick their wn “reasnable yet challenging” wrd length. If a student elects t write, say, 18,000 wrds and achieves this gal in a mnth, he r she is a winner. Awards include a “handsme winner’s certificate” and a prmtinal cde t receive a free bund prf cpy f the finished nvel.
The Yung Writers Prgram als facilitates Script Frenzy, a similar scriptwriting (剧本写作) event that happens each April and challenges participants t write a 100-page script in 30 days.
While yung writers wrk primarily as individuals, teachers are als encuraged t write alng with them.
56. It can be inferred that students usually _____ after participating in NaNWriM.
A. enjy themselvesB. verlad themselves C. lk curageusD. becme distracted
57. By “seat-f-yur-pants” in paragraph 2, the authr means _____.

B. They can lengthen the duratin f their writing prcess.
C. They can decide n their nvels’ wrd cunts themselves.
D. They shuld submit nvels n their teachers’ recmmendatin.

C. Its missin hasn’t been recgnized. D. Its emplyees needn’t pay incme tax.
(C)
Mre than three billin peple rely n the cean t make a living, mst f whm are in develping cuntries. As the glbal ppulatin increases, the demand fr seafd is expected t rise, t.
Althugh cean ecsystems are stretched t the limit by climate change, verfishing and mre, studies nevertheless suggest that seafd can be expanded sustainably t meet future fd demands. Success will depend n small-scale fisheries. These fisheries can be remarkably efficient. Almst everything that hand-t-muth fisheries catch is cnsumed. By cntrast, arund 20% f the fish caught by industrial ships is estimated t be wasted, mainly because f unwanted by-catch.
Small fishers rarely have the right resurces t expand their peratins, r even t survive. If they d scale up, they might lse sme f their current advantages r engage in the same harmful practices as d large cmmercial fisheries. Managed with care, hwever, small fisheries culd prvide win-wins fr livelihds and the envirnment.
Mst natins already have management plicies fr marine ecsystems that prvide fr small-scale fisheries. But small-scale fishers’ rights t access are ften prly defined, ineffectively enfrced r unfairly distributed (分配). Gvernment subsidies (补贴) als require refrm. One estimate fund that large-scale fishers receive abut 3.5 times mre subsidies than small-scale fishers d. Instead, subsidies and ther funds shuld be directed twards small-scale fishers t let them expand their access t markets, while keeping them frm adpting the negative practices f large-scale peratins.
The ttal glbal lss and waste frm fisheries is estimated at between 30% and 35% annually primarily due t a lack f technlgy, gd manufacturing practices, and infrastructure such as decent rads and cld strage. Public and private investment in cld-strage facilities and prcessing equipment culd help. One prmising strategy is t pair internatinal r natinal funding with direct cntracts fr feeding prgrammes linked t schls, hspitals and similar facilities. Such arrangements wuld prvide small fisheries with large, cnsistent markets and strage infrastructure that bsts lcal cnsumptin and des nt incentivize (刺激) verfishing.
Mrever, simple incentive prgrammes culd be cnducted by funders, managers and lcal gvernments trying t prmte sustainable fisheries. Fr example, lcal markets culd display a rating system fr individual fishers r small fisheries. This culd include varius elements f sustainability ther than envirnmental nes — such as prviding infrmatin n the type f fishing equipment, lcatin f the catch and freshness. Prmting the rating as a scial respnsibility cncept wuld infrm cnsumers f the need t supprt sustainable fisheries.
Anyway, nly jint prblem-slving effrts can deliver seafd prtein, sustainably, t a wrld that increasingly needs it.
63. The passage mainly tells us that _____.
A. small fisheries can help the wrld if managed with care
B. the glbal demand fr seafd is increasing dramatically
C. small-scale fisheries need t be cmmercialised urgently
D. peple in develping cuntries are mre reliable n fishing
64. Small-scale fisheries are mre efficient because _____.
A. what they catch is hardly wasted B. their by-catch accunts fr a larger share
C. they catch fish by industrial meansD. their peratin is limited within a small area
65. What can be inferred abut small fisheries’ current situatin?
A. They gain n supprt frm gvernments.B. They are expanding t meet lcal demands.
C. They have little access t gd resurces. D. They impact marine ecsystems negatively.
66. T prmte sustainable fisheries, which f the fllwing is ne f the authr’s suggestins?
A. T initiate a rating system fr small fishers t evaluate the lcal markets.
B. T prvide technlgy fr small fisheries t bst their fishing efficiency.
C. T inspire a sense f scial respnsibility in large-scale fishers and cnsumers.
D. T facilitate direct cperatin between small fisheries and feeding prgrammes.

Nightly Sleep Is Key t Student Success
Fr yung adults, cllege is a time f transitin. It may be the first time students have the freedm t determine hw t spend their time, but this freedm cmes with cmpeting interests frm academics, scial events and even sleep.
A multi-institutinal team f researchers cnducted the first study t evaluate hw the duratin f nightly sleep early in the semester affects first year cllege students’ end-f-semester grade pint average (GPA). Using sleep trackers, they fund that students n average sleep 6.5 hurs a night, but negative utcmes built up when students received less than six hurs f sleep a night. 67
David Creswell, the William S. Dietrich II Prfessr in Psychlgy and Neurscience at the Dietrich Cllege f Humanities and Scial Sciences, led a team f researchers t evaluate the relatinship between sleep and GPA.
“Animal studies have shwn hw critical sleep is fr learning and memry,” said Creswell. “ 68 The less nightly sleep a first-year cllege student gets at the beginning f the schl term predicts lwer GPA at the end f the term. Lack f sleep may be hurting students’ ability t learn in their cllege classrms.”
69 The researchers fund that students wh receive less than six hurs f sleep experienced a prnunced decline in academic perfrmance. In additin, each hur f sleep lst crrespnded t (相对应) a 0.07 decrease in end-f-term GPA.
“Once yu start drpping belw six hurs, yu are starting t add massive sleep debt that can harm a student’s health and study habits, damaging the whle system,” said Creswell. “ 70 ”
“A ppular belief amng cllege students is valuing studying mre r partying mre ver nightly sleep,” said Creswell. “Our wrk here suggests that there are ptentially real csts t reducing yur nightly sleep n yur ability t learn and achieve in cllege. There’s real value in budgeting fr the imprtance f nightly sleep.”

71. Call a Physical Therapist
Yu get up frm the sfa and - w! Back pain takes yur breath away. D yu reach fr the pain pills? N! Call a physical therapist instead!
Mre and mre, physical therapy, r PT, is a cmmn g-t fr treating aches and pains. A physical therapist can treat almst any injury t give a patient a better quality f life. When it cmes t treatment, ne size des nt fit all. A physical therapist persnalizes a treatment plan based n their bservatins and the patient’s cncerns. The gal is t help injured r ill peple imprve mvement and manage pain, s they can live life t the fullest. These therapists wrk with patients wh suffer frm back r neck injuries. They help peple recver frm brken bnes and surgeries as well as wrk- r sprts-related injuries. Physical therapists als teach peple hw t stay in shape and prevent further injuries.

N ne can becme a physical therapist withut getting a dctr f physical therapy degree. After cmpleting it, a persn must pass a prfessinal license exam befre beginning t practice. Further, being a physical therapist can be mentally and physically draining because f the hands-n, persnalized patient care required. A successful physical therapist needs t have great cmmunicatin skills and an eye fr detail. They shuld als be creative prblem slvers as well as resurceful.
Fr thse lking fr a satisfying career, PT is ne t cnsider. The demand fr the prfessin is grwing faster than that f many ther careers. Private clinics and hspitals hire physical therapists. Sprts facilities and prfessinal sprts teams als emply them. Therapists may wrk in skilled nursing facilities r visit patients in their wn hmes. If smene wants t see the wrld, they may want t becme a travel physical therapist.

Tymakers are develping new games and changing ld nes t target a different grup: peple ver 65 years ld. Ty prducers suggest the prducts culd help lder peple increase their brain skills as well as reduce lneliness. Hwever, sme experts have raised dubts abut their claims.
Ben Swartz, 92, lives with his 85-year-ld wife in a retirement cmmunity. He ran 14 ty stres in the 1970s. He has nticed sme f the new fferings frm the ty industry, and he apprves f the mves. He plays games five days a week with his friends. He said the games help his mind, therwise, he wuld wrry that his “mind wuld start t g a little bit slw.”
While sme scientists welcme tymakers paying attentin t lder buyers, they als warn f these prducts’ limitatins. Neil Charness and Walter Bt, bth f Flrida State University, wrked tgether t test the idea that brain games help preserve mental abilities such as reasning r thinking. They fund that peple get better in the specific skills f the game if they play ver and ver again. But the games d nt translate t mental abilities needed fr everyday living activities, like maintaining independent living. The researchers als said that there is limited evidence t date that playing games can greatly reduce lneliness.
