When I was nine, my best friend nearly chked t death n a gbstpper, a type f hard candy. After several attempts, she cughed up the candy. I haven't had a gbstpper since and I have carried with me a fear f seeing that scene again. Sadly, as I discvered this week, lightning can strike twice.
I was getting ff a tube train in Lndn when I nticed a wman cughing. I slwed dwn, watching her carefully. I had learned that cughing is rarely a sign that smething is terribly wrng. Suddenly, the wman stpped cughing, her eyes widened and she bent ver.
When I went ver t ask if she was OK, she lked up at me, panicked, and pinted t her back. I started hitting her back and screaming fr help. Despite having watched a few vides, I was terrified that I wuldn't be able t crrectly perfrm the Heimlich, a first-aid methd, and that I wuld have t walk away with guilt fr her death. But it was just the tw f us, alne at an undergrund statin; if I didn't try t help, n ne wuld. Thankfully, much like with my friend, after a few sharp hits, whatever had been stuck in her thrat came lse. She thanked me, almst embarrassed, and walked up t the lift. I fllwed behind her, shaking, with tears in my eyes.
By the time we reached the lift, we had bth calmed dwn. She tk my hands and thanked me again, befre disappearing. She might have been fine withut my hurried hits n her back—I may nt have actually saved her life—but at least she knew that smene, a stranger whm she wuld never see again, cared.
This experience als taught me abut the bystander effect, where peple assume thers assumed t be available during an emergency, direct help frm thers is far less likely t will help, leading t inactin. I get it: the fear f making things wrse, especially if yu have n medical training, is real. Research suggests that when a "medically cmpetent"persn is ccur. Smetimes, thugh, regardless f wh else culd be nearby, it may be useful t get invlved. S it was with the cughing wman n the tube.
24. Hw did the friend's chking incident affect the authr?
A. She lived with a sense f guilt.
B. She realized the imprtance f first aid.
C. She develped a fear f witnessing similar events.
D. She deepened her understanding f the bystander effect.
25. What did the authr d t help the wman n the tube?
A. She relieved the wman's cughing.
B. She walked the wman up t the lift.
C. She fund a "medically cmpetent"persn fr her.
D. She perfrmed first aid by hitting the wman's back.
26. Which situatin can be described as the bystander effect?
A. Yu vlunteered t help an ld man carrying a heavy bag.
B. Yu asked yur brther wh is a dctr t save a dying wman.
C. Yu avided invlvement when seeing an injured lady n the rad.
D. Yu walked away after the rescue men asked yu t leave the scene.
27. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. A gd tun deserves anther.
B. Every clud has a silver lining.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D. Actin speaks luder than inactin.

Science begins with mystery. Arguably, the tw greatest mysteries are the universe and awareness-the vast wrld ut there and the pwerful wrld within. Scientists attracted by ne can be called t study the ther, led by the thught that these mysteries are cnnected. Science writer Gerge Musser's bk Putting Ourselves Back in the Equatin（方程）reviews their prgress: Can physics unlck the mystery f awareness? Des awareness frm the basis f fundamental physics?
The result is an ambitius but ultimately disappinting tur, filled with breathless encunters with well-knwn scientists. Representative f the cast is MIT's Max Tegmark, wh tells Musser, "If yu lk at the prblems that were still difficult t answer in fundamental physics, pretty much all f them trace back t awareness."
The bk shws hw physicists are cntributing t understanding the mind, cntinuing a lng histry f physicists explring ther fields. Musser integrates physics with neurscience, ecnmies, mathematics and mre. Yet a key surce f lcal knwledge is bviusly absent—psychlgy. An early example: Musser rightly applauds physicists' cntributins t artificial neural netwrks but is verly trustful f their implicatins, declaring that "ChatGPT" is already starting t demnstrate a generalized intelligence like that f humans. Interviewing mre psychlgists culd have expsed the cnsiderable gap remaining.
What abut awareness itself? Why are sme states assciated with felt experience, such as the pain f a headache and the sight f a sunset, but thers nt? Musser's fcus is integrated infrmatin thery（IIT）. IIT begins with five self-evident principles f awareness：awareness exists, and it is structured, specific, unified, and definite. It then cncludes assumptins cncerning the causal structure f awareness systems, identifying awareness with integrated infrmatin. Finally, IIT ffers a mathematical measure f this quantity: an equatin fr awareness.
Hwever, despite its enthusiasts, IIT has significant prblems. Its wrking basis is unfunded, and serius dubts surrund its testability and definability. Of curse, a thery f awareness must detail when, why, and t what degree we are aware f urselves. Here, psychlgy's absence is mst bvius. Over the last century, psychlgical research has revealed cuntless phenmena f awareness, frm mdels that alter awareness t methds that stimulate unawareness; frm extrardinary disrders f awareness t careful studies f metacgnitin（元认知）.
Althugh questinable, such phenmena are the data that any scientific thery f awareness must accunt fr. Yet these phenmena and ideas are almst nwhere in the bk. Of curse, psychlgy has nt slved awareness, but ne cannt hpe t explain awareness withut cnfrnting these data.
Awareness is genuinely mysterius. S is fundamental physics. But hping that physics can slve awareness while excluding ther appraches is nly a recipe fr mre mystery, nt less.
28. What can we learn frm Musser's bk?
A. IIT is acknwledged fr its testability and definability.
B. Musser underestimates the impact f artificial intelligence.
C. Using psychlgy is a trend fr physicists explring ther fields.
D. Musser highlights physicists' effrts t uncver the secret f awareness.
29. What can be inferred frm the passage?
A. The link between physics and awareness has been established.
B. There is n dubt abut the principles f an equatin fr awareness.
C. A multidisciplinary apprach is essential t understanding awareness.
D. Study f awareness needs t ignre related psychlgical phenmena.
30. Regarding Musser's view in his bk, the authr is .
A. neutral B. disapprving C. supprtive D. uncertain
D
It is perhaps easy t accept the statement that the universe is expanding. It is just sme strange physics indicating that, as time ges n, galaxies. （星系）get further away frm each ther just like tw cars racing away frm each ther.
I persnally dn't like it and prefer the balln analgy. In this situatin, there are dts all ver a balln. When we blw it up in real life, the dts wuld increase in size. In this analgy, let's assume they dn't. What we are interested in is hw the distance between the dts n the surface f the balln grws as we put mre air int it.
The balln analgy relies smewhat n ur gemetric sensibilities which refer t ur sense f shapes and hw they change ver time. At its cre, what we are trying t develp a sense fr is hw we measure distances. This cncept is als the fundamental gal f general relativity, Einstein's thery f gravity. In general relativity, the mst imprtant piece f infrmatin is what we call the metric, an equatin that describes hw distances are measured, and therefre als tells us abut the shape space-time is taking.
The whle idea that space-time is expanding was first nticed as a mathematical cnsequence f general relativity by Gerges Lemaitre in 1927, when he slved Einstein's equatin and fund a slutin fr the metric shwing that distances grw with time. His wrk prvided a theretical explanatin：the standard fr measuring csmic（宇宙的）distance was itself changing with time.
What is delightful is that it means we can quite reasnably say that universe's expansin is a gravitatinal effect. I enjy this because it is s deeply cunterintuitive t ur usual understanding f gravity, which teaches us that it is a frce that always draws things tgether. But in this case where gravity is a gemetric effect, we are ffered a brader range f gravitatinal pssibilities.
It is wrth nting that the gemetric explanatin f general relativity hasn't been universally ppular. The late physicist Steven Weinberg wrte that the gemetric explanatin f the thery f gravitatin has been reduced t a mere analgy, but is therwise nt very useful. Anther challenge with the balln analgy and ur reliance n gemetric explanatin is t explain why gravity seems t pull things tgether in many situatins, while universe is expanding. This difference is reslved by acknwledging that lcal gravitatinal effects due t massive bjects dminate ver large-scale expansin effects, leading t the frmatin f structures like stars, galaxies and, eventually us.
In fact, the analgy where universe is nly expanding and this is the nly gravitatinal effect at play is a very idealized situatin where matter was initially spread ut perfectly evenly acrss the universe.
31. The authr presents the balln analgy in Paragraph 2 mainly t .
A. intrduce a tpicB. draw a cmparisn
C. cnfirm a thery D. evaluate a statement
32. What des the underlined wrd "cunterintuitive" in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Unchallenging.B. Cntradictry. C. Satisfying. D. Relevant.
33. What can be inferred frm the passage?
A. Universe's expansin results in the creatin f structures like galaxies.
B. Lemaitre's wrk suggests the standard fr csmic distance is cnsistent.
C. A unifrm distributin f matter can vercme the universe's expansin.
D. The metric is key t sensing the shape f space-time in general relativity.
34. Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Studying Galaxies— Has the Balln Analgy Been Outdated?
B. Rethinking Gravity-Is it a Way t Make Sense f the Balln Analgy?
C. Arguing against the Car Analgy— Des the Balln Analgy Win Over?
D. Understanding Universe Expansin— Is the Balln Analgy Acceptable?

Studies abut sleep and emplyee behavir typically fcus n varius activities that ccur within the bdy during sleep, and their impact n daytime cgnitin. New research adpts a different methd. 35
The researchers cnducted three studies invlving thusands f dreams recalled by emplyees. The first study asked participants upn awakening t rate the degree f awe（敬畏）and wnder brught by their dreams and t write dwn their biggest wrk prblem. 36 Anther ne they answered was whether they envisined anything gd arising frm the difficult wrk situatin—a measure f resilience, which meant the ability t becme strng and happy again after tughness. Thse wh fund psitive meaning in dreams reprted higher levels f awe. 37
In the secnd study, participants wh recalled a dream likewise reprted its psitive r negative meaning, and then wrte descriptins f the dream and what they tk t be its causes and meaning. After wrk they answered questins abut their resilience and prgress n the day's tasks. 38 The third study tracked similar measures amng emplyees wh participated daily fr tw weeks, and it lked at hw naturally curius each persn was. It fund similar results abut awe and shwed that it raised resilience and prductivity far mre in the naturally curius.
39 Awe can help peple deal mre effectively with challenges and prgress tward gals. "Our research reveals hw awe can be brught abut at a time that has a critical impact n daily wrk utcmes," the researchers write. "Emplyees culd use dream jurnals and simple practices t ‘guide’ their nighttime visins, thus increasing their dds f having meaningful, awe-inspiring dreams."
A. A psitive dream brings a sense f sudden insight, giving rise t awe.
B The increased awe was als prved t be assciated with greater resilience.
C In fact, dreaming may help imprve prblem-slving skills in daily rutine.
D. Here, t, gd dreams bsted awe and resilience, fueling prgress n wrk gals.
E. Researchers acknwledge that dreams may invlve cntent related t waking experiences.
F. It finds that remembering a gd dream can help peple make prgress in the day's tasks.
G. They then answered the questin abut whether they thught the dream was psitive r negative.

When Eugenie Gerge first heard that her friend passed the accuntant exam, her heart sank. She'd failed that test weeks earlier, and needed the certificate t advance her wn career. "My inner child gt upset," recalls Gerge. But then, she called her friend. "I tld her I failed and admitted I was envius," she says. Being frank shifted her attitude, and she was surprised t realize she culd share her friend's happiness and experience her wn, in tum. "I cngratulated my friend and tld her she inspired me," Gerge says.
This is what scientists called freudenfreude, meaning finding pleasure in anther persn's success, even if it desn't directly invlve us. Freudenfreude is like scial glue, says Catherine Chambliss, a prfessr f psychlgy at Ursinus Cllege. It makes relatinships "clse and mre enjyable." A study in 2021 examined freudenfreude's rle in daily life and fund that it culd imprve life satisfactin and even help peple c-perate during a cnflict.
While the benefits f freudenfreude are plentiful, it desn't always cme easily. If yu were raised in a family that paired winning with self-wrth, Chambliss says, yu might misread smene else's victry as yur wn persnal shrtcming. Besides, mental health can als affect yur ability t participate in smene else's jy. Negative emtins like anger r dislike may lead t the ppsite f freudenfreude.
Luckily, the ability f freudenfreude can be exercised. T help peple strengthen jy-sharing muscles, Chambliss and his clleagues develped a prgramme called Freudenfreude Enhancement Training practices. They fund that depressed students wh used the practices fr tw weeks had an easier time expressing freudenfreude, which enhanced their relatinships and imprved their mds. Given that, having freudenfreude is beneficial and it is wrthwhile t explre ways t encurage the feeling.
40. Accrding t scientists, what is freudenfreude?
41. What impact des freudenfreude have n daily life?
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
Freudenfreude desn't always cme easily, and it is affected by yur family envirnment and physical health.
43. Besides Gerge's experience mentined in the passage, please describe ne f yur experiences f freudenfreude. (In abut 40 wrds)
