Museum visits rise in ppularity in summer
Turists were seen queuing fr lng hurs in frnt f museums and btaining entrance tickets became mre challenging. In respnse t the grwing demand, 46 museums in Beijing canceled their custmary Mnday clsures and remained pen daily until August 31. The rise in “museum fever” can be credited t varius factrs, including the public’s increasing enthusiasm fr traditinal Chinese culture, the bming market fr yuth educatinal turs and summer camps, as well as the cntinuus innvatin f museums.
Old tea frests in Pu’er win Wrld Heritage Site title
The newly named heritage site, lcated in Lancang Lahu autnmus cunty in Pu’er, Yunnan prvince, cnsists f five large-scale, well-preserved ld tea frests, which stand 1,250 t 1,500 meters abve the sea level, three prtective barrier frests, and nine ancient villages in the ld tea frests, which are mainly inhabited by Blang and Dai ethnic grups. The cultural landscape was jintly created by the ancestrs f the Blang peple—wh immigrated t the Jingmai Muntain in the 10th century AD and later discvered and dmesticated wild tea trees—and the native Dai peple.
Prtectin plan released fr Beijing’s Central Axis
The plan is said t be ne f the necessary steps tward bidding fr UNESCO Wrld Heritage status. Alngside regulatins n the prtectin f the Central Axis carried ut earlier, the plan is in line with the requirements f Wrld Heritage cnservatin.

When Stanfrd University student Ellen Xu was a five-year-ld in Califrnia, she vividly recalls her parents rushing her little sister t the hspital. Three-year-ld Kate had fallen acutely ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, a rash and sme swelling in her hands and tngue.
At first, the puzzled dctrs thught she had influenza, but when her cnditin didn’t imprve, the Xus returned t the emergency rm, where a dctr by chance had prir experience with an acute inflammatry(炎症性的) reactin in the bld vessels knwn as Kawasaki disease(川崎病). Thugh rare, it’s the leading cause f acquired heart disease in babies and yung children, and its cause and triggers remain smewhat mysterius. The dctr knew hw t treat it: He rdered a dse f intravenus immunglbulin(静脉免疫球蛋白), and eventually Kate shk ff the illness withut suffering damage t her heart.
Xu remembers being curius abut her sister’s dramatic cnditin and was amazed that the grwn-ups culdn’t answer her questins abut why it was s hard t detect. “In my mind, it was a mystery,” she says. “It was a puzzle I wanted t slve.”
A decade later, wanting t enter a high schl science fair, she had an idea: “What if we had a dctr in ur pcket?” S she created just that: Using AI, Xu designed an algrithm(算法) that uses visual data t diagnse(诊断) Kawasaki disease based n five physical symptms.
The technlgy wrks the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with phts yu’ve taken n yur cell phne. Wrried parents can uplad a pht that they have taken f their child, and the technlgy will scan the image fr symptms f Kawasaki disease, which ften have a strng visual element, such as a rash r a swllen tngue.
Xu’s inventin has been applied as a web app n the Kawasaki Disease Fundatin’s website withut charge. The technlgy culd als be develped fr recgnizing aut-immune and rheumatlgical(风湿病学的) diseases. She says, “It means a lt t me. I want t use AI t help peple live happier and healthier lives.”
24. Why was Kawasaki disease s hard t diagnse?
A. It had n symptms.
B. It had never been knwn befre.
C. It culd be cnfused with influenza.
D. It culdn' t be diagnsed by medical instruments.
25. What' s the functin f the first three paragraphs?
A. T shw why Xu develped the technlgy.
B. T intrduce a case remaining mysterius.
C. T describe the bad results f the disease.
D. T prve dctrs shuld accumulate clinical experience.
26. What' s the advantage f Xu' s inventin?
A. It is cnvenient and cheap.
B. It can take the place f dctrs.
C. It can treat Kawasaki disease quickly.
D. It can diagnse Kawasaki disease via scanned pictures.
27. What can be learned frm the text?
A. The technlgy is an AI-pwered diagnsed tl.
B. Xu had the idea f the technlgy when Kate was treated.
C. The technlgy can' t be applied t diagnse ther diseases.
D. Influenza is the leading reasn f acquired heart disease in babies.

Recently it has dawned n the gvernment that clsing mre than 1,000 f England's railway statin ticket ffices wuld nt be very smart plitics. The transprt secretary, Mark Harper, annunced that train peratrs had been asked t withdraw the cst-cutting strategy, which the gvernment itself had riginally pushed n them. The writing was already n the wall in the summer, when public anger led t an extensin f the cnsultatin perid n the prpsed clsures. By the time it ended, 750,000 respnses had been recrded, 99% f them negative.
The public’s cncerns were ver future access t travel advice and infrmatin, assistance fr disabled peple, safety at understaffed statins, and cnsequences fr the digitally excluded. But the passinate ppsitin als underlined a widespread sense that railway statins must be mre than transit(交通) znes. Cmbined with a refrmed ticketing system, that insight shuld nw infrm a psitive apprach t breathing life int England’s railways and attracting mre peple back n t trains.
As a reprt published this autumn by the Campaign fr Better Transprt sets ut, there is an urgent case fr fairer ticketing refrm acrss the netwrk. Fr ver a decade, the relative cst f taking the train rather than the car has skyrcketed, as fares have risen while fuel duty has been frzen. Over a third f the public are cnfused by the numerus types f ticket available, and the cmplex regulatins that apply t them. Why shuld an anytime return frm Chelmsfrd t Lndn csts £32.60, when t cver the same distance frm Grays t Lndn csts £ 13.40?
The failed attempt t shut dwn ticket ffices had its rts in a shrt-term ministerial respnse t falling revenues(收入). But as the cuntry strives t achieve a challenging green transitin, the gvernment shuld wrk t establish a simpler, fairer ticketing system that ffers imaginative rewards t take the train, and t develp an ambitius plan fr ur statins—ne that reflects their imprtant rle in the lives f the travelling public.
28. What des the underlined wrds in the first paragraph prbably mean?
A. The public expressed their anger.
B. The prpsal was put up n a wall.
C. Unfavrable utcme was expected.
D. The gvernment adpted the plicy.
29. What can be inferred abut England’s railways?
A. They have seen a decline in public favr.
B. They have undergne ticketing refrm.
C. They have included mre transit znes.
D. They have expanded their services.
30. What des paragraph 3 mainly fcus n?
A. The ppularity f car wnership.
B. The develpment f ticketing refrm.
C. The prblems f the ticketing system.
D. The applicatin f cmplex regulatins.
31. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Rising Prices f Train Travel
B. Urgent Calls fr Rail Revival
C. Failed Clsure f Railway Statins
D. Tugh Rute t Green Transit Initiatives
D
Every decisin we make is arrived at thrugh hugely cmplex neurlgical(神经系统的) prcessing. Althugh it feels as thugh yu have a chice, the actin that yu “decide” t take is entirely directed by autmatic neural activity. Brain imaging studies shw that a persn’s actin can be predicted by their brain activity up t 10 secnds befre they themselves becme aware they are ging t act. Multiple neurscientific studies shw that even thse imprtant decisins that feel wrked ut are just as autmatic as knee-jerk reactins(膝跳反应) (althugh mre cmplex).
Decisin-making starts with the amygdala(杏仁核): a set f tw almnd-shaped nuclei(杏仁状核) buried deep within the brain, which generate emtin. The amygdala registers the infrmatin streaming in thrugh ur senses and respnds t it in less than a secnd, sending signals thrughut the brain. These prduce an urge t run, fight, freeze r grab, accrding t hw the amygdala values varius stimuli.
Befre we act n the amygdala’s signals, hwever, the infrmatin is usually prcessed by ther brain areas, including sme that prduce cnscius thughts and emtins. Areas cncerned with recgnitin wrk ut what’s ging n, thse cncerned with memry cmpare it with previus experiences, and thse cncerned with reasning, judging and planning get t wrk n cnstructing varius actin plans. The best plan—if we are lucky—is then selected and carried ut. If any f this prcess ges wrng, we are likely t hesitate, r d smething silly.
The varius stages f decisin-making are marked by different types f brain activity. Fast (gamma) waves(伽马波), with frequencies f 25 t 100 Hz, prduce a keen awareness f the multiple factrs that need t be taken int accunt t arrive at a decisin. If yu are trying t chse a sandwich, fr instance, gamma waves generated in varius cells within the “taste” area f the brain bring t mind and cmpare the taste f ham, hummus, whlemeal, surdugh, and s n. Althugh it may seem useful t be aware f the full range f chice, t much infrmatin makes decisin-making mre difficult, s irrelevant factrs get dismissed quickly and uncnsciusly.
After this cmparisn stage, the brain switches t slw-wave activity (12 t 30 Hz). This extinguishes mst f the gamma activity, leaving just a single “htspt” f gamma waves which marks the chsen ptin.
Althugh there is n “yu” utside yur brain t direct what it’s ding, yu can help it t make gd decisins by placing yurself in a situatin which is likely t make the prcess run mre smthly. Ding smething that is physically r mentally stimulating befre making a decisin will help yur brain prduce the initial gamma waves that generate awareness f the cmpeting ptins. Getting ver-excited, n the ther hand, will prevent the switch t the slw brainwaves, making it much harder t single ut a chice.
32. Why des the writer mentin “knee-jerk reactins” in the first paragraph?
A. T intrduce the finding f the latest brain imaging studies.
B. T illustrate that decisins are nt cnsciusly thught ut.
C. T call attentin t a kind f neural reactin that is nt very cmplex.
D. T shw the difference between decisin-making and ther brain activity.
33. What des the amygdala d accrding t the passage?
A. It wrks ut cnscius thughts and emtins.
B. It selects the best actin plan fr a given situatin.
C. It dismisses factrs that are irrelevant t the decisin t be made.
D. It prcesses sensry infrmatin and generates emtinal respnses.
34. What can be cncluded frm paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. Slw-wave activity usually lasts lnger than fast-wave activity.
B. The brain priritizes infrmatin befre settling n a final chice.
C. Decisin-making is difficult when slw-wave activity ccurs first.
D. The brain needs as much infrmatin as pssible t make a decisin.
35. Hw des engaging in stimulating activities help the decisin-making prcess?
A. By preparing the brain t single ut the mst reasnable chice.
B. By helping the brain switch t slw-wave activity mre quickly.
C. By getting the brain t fcus n thse mst relevant alternatives.
D. By making the brain unaware f the factrs and chices invlved.

It is als a gd ptin t read Readers, a renwned Chinese magazine, as it can expse yu t a wealth f Chinese literature. Besides, yu can watch prgrams abut Chinese culture, such as China in Classics, t enjy a visual and cultural feast.
I believe yur Chinese will be imprved and yu will gain a better insight int Chinese culture. Best wishes!
