“D we have permissin t give yur father a trachetmy (气管切开术)?” I was a cllege student. My father had fallen int a cma (昏迷) a few weeks earlier and I was respnsible fr his medical decisins.
The call abut the trachetmy came the night befre an exam. After a few hurs f restless sleep, I was hardly in a state t take the exam. I tld my prfessr what had happened the previus night and requested an alternative exam date, which was denied. This experience made me unwilling t be hnest abut my struggles. When I sn had t make the decisin t take my father ff life supprt, I tld nbdy.
Despite that sadness, I was able t make it thrugh my studies and, eight years later, I became a prfessr myself. As a new teacher, I felt I needed t adpt a tugh classrm persna (表面形象) t earn fellw teachers’ respect. My behavir wasn’t unlike that f the prfessr wh had denied me the exam extensin years earlier, and it did nt reflect my actual character.
Then, the pandemic (大流行病) hit. I was t tired t keep up the act, and my students needed supprt. S, I shared the stry abut my father’s illness and death t acknwledge that life ges n utside f my classrm. I tld my students I knew they might be suffering and wanted them t knw that if they came t me needing help, I wuld understand.
The respnse was immediate and pwerful. Students became unafraid t share their stries with me. I changed nthing abut the way I delivered curse material, but student exam scres imprved, as did my teaching evaluatins. Students culd see that althugh I still pushed them t learn the material, I cared abut their well-being and wanted them t succeed.
Expsing yur imperfectins, cnnecting with students n a deeper level, and creating space fr them — and yu — t grw will always be challenging, but it is wrth it. I cannt knw everything that is ging n in every student’s life, but I can always chse sympathy.
24. What effect did the prfessr’s denial have n the authr?
A. He lst cnfidence in himself.
B. He grew strnger in the face f challenges.
C. He became hesitant t ask fr help frm thers.
D. He learned t be respectful f thers’ chices.
25. Hw did the pandemic change the authr’s teaching?
A. He lwered his academic standards.
B. He adpted a tugh classrm persna.
C. He stpped pushing his students t learn.
D. He shared his persnal stries t bnd with students.
26. What did the authr think f his students’ reactins in paragraph 5?
A. A nice surprise.B. An anticipated respnse.C. A brave fight.D. A slw change.
27. What might the authr expect teachers t d by writing the text?
A. Set gd examples fr students.B. Care abut students’ mental health.
C. Respect students’ individual differences.D. Fcus n innvative teaching methds.

“The cure fr anything is salt,” says a character in Karen Blixen’s shrt stry The Deluge at Nrderney. Everyday life has gt a lt saltier since Blixen’s era — and salt is n lnger the cure-all it nce was. S what shuld we be ding abut it?
The Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO) recmmends capping yur salt intake at 5g a day, and keeping it even lwer if pssible. That’s because, accrding t a large bdy f evidence, eating a lt f it is linked t high bld pressure, which in turn is a risk factr fr heart disease. Mre recently, extra salt has als been assciated with stmach cancer.
S is the answer t put dwn the shaker? It’s a bit mre cmplicated than that: as the British Heart Fundatin ntes, 75% f the salt that we eat is added befre ur fd even hits ur plates. The UK was a wrld leader in salt reductin, with the Fd Standards Agency enfrcing (施行) strict limits n hw much culd be included in mst prducts.
In 2010, hwever, as the gvernment intrduced “respnsibility deals”, the fd industry itself tk the lead in the prcess, with limits becming much mre vluntary. Nw, even brands that wuld like t reduce the salt cntent f their fds are hamstrung by what everyne else is ding: apart frm being ne f the cheapest frms f flavuring available, salt can als be used t bulk up (增重) fds by increasing their water cntent.
“As a wrk partner f mine said, leaving it up t the manufacturers (制造商) is like putting a msquit in charge f a bld bank,” says Graham MacGregr, a prfessr f medicine. “Sme supermarkets want better enfrcement, but it has t cme frm abve.”
The answer, then, is that this is ne health cncern that we shuld prbably be cllectively wrrying abut. Yu can take steps like cking mst f yur meals and aviding takeaways and ready meals. But it’s nt an ptin fr everyne. “If yu really want t lwer yur salt intake, the best first step might be t write t yur MP (国会议员),” says MacGregr.
28. What des paragraph 2 mainly fcus n cncerning salt?
A. Its ptential danger t health.B. Its daily recmmended intake.
C. Its significance t everyday life.D. Its curing ability fr certain diseases.
29. What des the underlined wrd “hamstrung” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Cpied.B. Restricted.C. Dubted.D. Criticized.
30. Which f the fllwing describes “respnsibility deals” in MacGregr’s pinin?
A. A win-win strategy.B. An ill-intentined plicy.
C. A business-restricting practice.D. A prly thught-ut initiative.
31. What is the key t lwer salt intake accrding t MacGregr?
A. The fd industry’s vluntary effrts.B. The UK gvernment enfrcing strict laws.
C. The general public’s return t hme cking.D. The WHO intrducing minimum standards.
D
Science is increasingly central t ur lives — frm its rle in creating day-t-day bjects such as the smartphnes in ur pckets, t the big challenges f tackling disease, addressing climate change and fcusing n bidiversity lss.
Many f the changes that the discipline brings are hugely beneficial, but they ften cme with ptential dwnsides that demand public debate. Will artificial intelligence take peple’s jbs r destry electins with false news? Hw fast can we practically achieve a net zer ecnmy?
Fr the crucial public debate that is needed n all this t take place, we must have a scientifically literate ppulatin. But there is a divide between the scientifically minded and thse wh chse nt t engage with science.
It saddens me that ur culture nw views science as difficult, which discurages many frm taking an interest in it. A British Science Assciatin (BSA) survey recently suggested that nly arund a third f 14- t 18-year-lds find scientists inspiratinal r cnsider the subject t be relevant t their lives.
In fact, science is interlinked with every aspect f ur existence and peple frm all walks f life and f all ages shuld be able t access it easily. The inventin f the printing press was crucial t the Enlightenment because it demcratised (普及) knwledge. S, in this increasingly science-centred wrld, the same attentin shuld be given t ppular science writing as is given t ther frms f literature.
The Ryal Sciety Science Bk Prize is the nly ne in the wrld t prmte ppular science writing. Stephen Hawking’s A Brief Histry f Time, which was shrtlisted (把……列入入围名单) fr the prize in 1989, was written fr readers wh had n prir knwledge f physics and has since becme a universally recgnised text n the universe.
Demcratising science has never been mre imprtant. There are s many scientific stries t be tld that can help us better understand urselves. A sciety equipped with a slid understanding f the issues f the day is a sciety mre able t respnd t them in a better way.
32. What des the underlined part “all this” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Beneficial scientific advancements.
B. Challenges facing human beings.
C. Ptential dwnsides f science.
D. Disagreements between scientists and the public.
33. What des the BSA survey reveal abut the majrity f British yung peple?
A. They have great respect fr scientists.
B. They feel discnnected frm science.
C. They knw little abut the Enlightenment.
D They wish t land a career in the scientific field.
34. Why has A Brief Histry f Time been well-received accrding t the authr?
A. It wn an internatinal bk prize.
B. It fcused n imprtant life issues.
C. It was written by a highly-hnured authr.
D. It demcratised knwledge abut the universe.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. The crisis f science in ur mdern life
B. We must rely n science t tackle ur prblems
C. Ppular science bks have never been mre imprtant
D. Public debate abut science culd never be mre necessary

Get Better at Saying N
“N” is a shrt, simple wrd that can cause anxiety fr the persn trying t say it. The fllwing strategies can help yu get better at saying n.
Be intentinal abut what yu cmmunicate.
____36____ Sure — but as psychlgist Vanessa Bhns pints ut, leaving it at that is ften pretty uncmfrtable. Instead, she advises cmmunicating three things: “It’s nt because f me, it’s nt because f yu, and it’s nt because f us.” ____37____ This reassures them that they didn’t d anything wrng by asking. Then, fllw up with a shrt explanatin: “I wish I culd, but I just dn’t have the time right nw.” That helps make it clear that yur “n” isn’t a pr reflectin f yur wn character; it’s nt the ther persn; and it’s nt a disapprval f the relatinship, Bhns says.
Have a planned phrase fr mre infrmal encunters.
Nt every situatin, f curse, calls fr such a thughtful apprach. Think thrugh times when yu’ve gtten stressed ver delivering a quick “n”, and then brainstrm phrases yu culd use in the future. Bhns, fr example, is ften asked t dnate t sme cause r anther as she checks ut at the grcery stre. ____38____ “It’s true, and it’s a way f saying, essentially, that I’m still a gd persn,” she says.
____39____
There’s always that ne guy wh wn’t take n fr an answer. If smene is applying undue pressure, adpt what psychlgist Ellen Hendriksen describes as the brken-recrd technique. ____40____ Occasinally, the asker will get irritated (恼火的), she says — but usually after repeating yurself tw r three times, even the mst persistent (执著的) peple will get the message.
A. She says n directly.
B. It’s sticking t yur answer.
C. Adpt the brken-recrd technique.
D. Repeat yur request again and again.
E. She nw has a g-t respnse: “I already dnated this year.”
F. One way t d that is by thanking peple fr thinking f yu.
G. Yu might have heard the tip that “n” is a cmplete sentence.

“I challenge yu t a hundred-meter race,” my ppnent, Julius, declared. He had beaten me cuntless times during practice, but I wanted t prve him wrng fr a change. “That’ll wipe the smile ff his face!” I thught, even as fear started t pur in my stmach. He was well-knwn arund the schl fr being the fastest runner n the track-and-field team, while I tailed behind in secnd place- a respectable psitin, but nt yet gd enugh t surpass (超过) him. Nevertheless, I shk his hand and said, “Challenge accepted!” Hwever, negative thughts flded my mind. Wuld I be able t win? After all, Julius’ speed f light wuld guarantee a sure win!
Sn, all my friends and the teachers had gathered arund t watch the challenge. “Oh n, I will lse and be embarrassed in frnt f the whle schl!” I spke in a lw vice. Nevertheless, I turned my wrried expressin int a determined smile. T keep myself frm sinking int self-dubt, I did sme stretches and jumping jacks t warm up my bdy.
Finally, the crucial mment arrived. The referee(裁判)fired the starting gun and we tk ff like a sht. Adrenaline(肾上腺素) rcketed thrugh my bdy as I launched myself frward. True t my expectatins, Julius caught up with me easily and was in the lead! “N way will I lse! Victry, here I cme!” I mtivated myself as anger cursed thrugh my bdy. As the race prgressed, my eyes lcked nt Julius, his athletic frm effrtlessly mving ahead. His quick steps and strng fcus shwcased his impressive skills. Yet, I refused t let dubt cnsume me. A fierce fire burnt within, fueled by a mix f unwillingness t admit defeat and anger. Hw dare he assume he was unbeatable? With every step, my determinatin slidified(变坚定), and my reslve t surpass him strengthened.

“D we have permissin t give yur father a trachetmy (气管切开术)?” I was a cllege student. My father had fallen int a cma (昏迷) a few weeks earlier and I was respnsible fr his medical decisins.
The call abut the trachetmy came the night befre an exam. After a few hurs f restless sleep, I was hardly in a state t take the exam. I tld my prfessr what had happened the previus night and requested an alternative exam date, which was denied. This experience made me unwilling t be hnest abut my struggles. When I sn had t make the decisin t take my father ff life supprt, I tld nbdy.
Despite that sadness, I was able t make it thrugh my studies and, eight years later, I became a prfessr myself. As a new teacher, I felt I needed t adpt a tugh classrm persna (表面形象) t earn fellw teachers’ respect. My behavir wasn’t unlike that f the prfessr wh had denied me the exam extensin years earlier, and it did nt reflect my actual character.
Then, the pandemic (大流行病) hit. I was t tired t keep up the act, and my students needed supprt. S, I shared the stry abut my father’s illness and death t acknwledge that life ges n utside f my classrm. I tld my students I knew they might be suffering and wanted them t knw that if they came t me needing help, I wuld understand.
The respnse was immediate and pwerful. Students became unafraid t share their stries with me. I changed nthing abut the way I delivered curse material, but student exam scres imprved, as did my teaching evaluatins. Students culd see that althugh I still pushed them t learn the material, I cared abut their well-being and wanted them t succeed.
Expsing yur imperfectins, cnnecting with students n a deeper level, and creating space fr them — and yu — t grw will always be challenging, but it is wrth it. I cannt knw everything that is ging n in every student’s life, but I can always chse sympathy.
24. What effect did the prfessr’s denial have n the authr?
A. He lst cnfidence in himself.
B. He grew strnger in the face f challenges.
C. He became hesitant t ask fr help frm thers.
D. He learned t be respectful f thers’ chices.
25. Hw did the pandemic change the authr’s teaching?
A. He lwered his academic standards.
B. He adpted a tugh classrm persna.
C. He stpped pushing his students t learn.
D. He shared his persnal stries t bnd with students.
26. What did the authr think f his students’ reactins in paragraph 5?
A. A nice surprise.B. An anticipated respnse.C. A brave fight.D. A slw change.
27. What might the authr expect teachers t d by writing the text?
A. Set gd examples fr students.B. Care abut students’ mental health.
C. Respect students’ individual differences.D. Fcus n innvative teaching methds.

“The cure fr anything is salt,” says a character in Karen Blixen’s shrt stry The Deluge at Nrderney. Everyday life has gt a lt saltier since Blixen’s era — and salt is n lnger the cure-all it nce was. S what shuld we be ding abut it?
The Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO) recmmends capping yur salt intake at 5g a day, and keeping it even lwer if pssible. That’s because, accrding t a large bdy f evidence, eating a lt f it is linked t high bld pressure, which in turn is a risk factr fr heart disease. Mre recently, extra salt has als been assciated with stmach cancer.
S is the answer t put dwn the shaker? It’s a bit mre cmplicated than that: as the British Heart Fundatin ntes, 75% f the salt that we eat is added befre ur fd even hits ur plates. The UK was a wrld leader in salt reductin, with the Fd Standards Agency enfrcing (施行) strict limits n hw much culd be included in mst prducts.
In 2010, hwever, as the gvernment intrduced “respnsibility deals”, the fd industry itself tk the lead in the prcess, with limits becming much mre vluntary. Nw, even brands that wuld like t reduce the salt cntent f their fds are hamstrung by what everyne else is ding: apart frm being ne f the cheapest frms f flavuring available, salt can als be used t bulk up (增重) fds by increasing their water cntent.
“As a wrk partner f mine said, leaving it up t the manufacturers (制造商) is like putting a msquit in charge f a bld bank,” says Graham MacGregr, a prfessr f medicine. “Sme supermarkets want better enfrcement, but it has t cme frm abve.”
The answer, then, is that this is ne health cncern that we shuld prbably be cllectively wrrying abut. Yu can take steps like cking mst f yur meals and aviding takeaways and ready meals. But it’s nt an ptin fr everyne. “If yu really want t lwer yur salt intake, the best first step might be t write t yur MP (国会议员),” says MacGregr.
28. What des paragraph 2 mainly fcus n cncerning salt?
A. Its ptential danger t health.B. Its daily recmmended intake.
C. Its significance t everyday life.D. Its curing ability fr certain diseases.
29. What des the underlined wrd “hamstrung” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Cpied.B. Restricted.C. Dubted.D. Criticized.
30. Which f the fllwing describes “respnsibility deals” in MacGregr’s pinin?
A. A win-win strategy.B. An ill-intentined plicy.
C. A business-restricting practice.D. A prly thught-ut initiative.
31. What is the key t lwer salt intake accrding t MacGregr?
A. The fd industry’s vluntary effrts.B. The UK gvernment enfrcing strict laws.
C. The general public’s return t hme cking.D. The WHO intrducing minimum standards.
D
Science is increasingly central t ur lives — frm its rle in creating day-t-day bjects such as the smartphnes in ur pckets, t the big challenges f tackling disease, addressing climate change and fcusing n bidiversity lss.
Many f the changes that the discipline brings are hugely beneficial, but they ften cme with ptential dwnsides that demand public debate. Will artificial intelligence take peple’s jbs r destry electins with false news? Hw fast can we practically achieve a net zer ecnmy?
Fr the crucial public debate that is needed n all this t take place, we must have a scientifically literate ppulatin. But there is a divide between the scientifically minded and thse wh chse nt t engage with science.
It saddens me that ur culture nw views science as difficult, which discurages many frm taking an interest in it. A British Science Assciatin (BSA) survey recently suggested that nly arund a third f 14- t 18-year-lds find scientists inspiratinal r cnsider the subject t be relevant t their lives.
In fact, science is interlinked with every aspect f ur existence and peple frm all walks f life and f all ages shuld be able t access it easily. The inventin f the printing press was crucial t the Enlightenment because it demcratised (普及) knwledge. S, in this increasingly science-centred wrld, the same attentin shuld be given t ppular science writing as is given t ther frms f literature.
The Ryal Sciety Science Bk Prize is the nly ne in the wrld t prmte ppular science writing. Stephen Hawking’s A Brief Histry f Time, which was shrtlisted (把……列入入围名单) fr the prize in 1989, was written fr readers wh had n prir knwledge f physics and has since becme a universally recgnised text n the universe.
Demcratising science has never been mre imprtant. There are s many scientific stries t be tld that can help us better understand urselves. A sciety equipped with a slid understanding f the issues f the day is a sciety mre able t respnd t them in a better way.
32. What des the underlined part “all this” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Beneficial scientific advancements.
B. Challenges facing human beings.
C. Ptential dwnsides f science.
D. Disagreements between scientists and the public.
33. What des the BSA survey reveal abut the majrity f British yung peple?
A. They have great respect fr scientists.
B. They feel discnnected frm science.
C. They knw little abut the Enlightenment.
D They wish t land a career in the scientific field.
34. Why has A Brief Histry f Time been well-received accrding t the authr?
A. It wn an internatinal bk prize.
B. It fcused n imprtant life issues.
C. It was written by a highly-hnured authr.
D. It demcratised knwledge abut the universe.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. The crisis f science in ur mdern life
B. We must rely n science t tackle ur prblems
C. Ppular science bks have never been mre imprtant
D. Public debate abut science culd never be mre necessary

Get Better at Saying N
“N” is a shrt, simple wrd that can cause anxiety fr the persn trying t say it. The fllwing strategies can help yu get better at saying n.
Be intentinal abut what yu cmmunicate.
____36____ Sure — but as psychlgist Vanessa Bhns pints ut, leaving it at that is ften pretty uncmfrtable. Instead, she advises cmmunicating three things: “It’s nt because f me, it’s nt because f yu, and it’s nt because f us.” ____37____ This reassures them that they didn’t d anything wrng by asking. Then, fllw up with a shrt explanatin: “I wish I culd, but I just dn’t have the time right nw.” That helps make it clear that yur “n” isn’t a pr reflectin f yur wn character; it’s nt the ther persn; and it’s nt a disapprval f the relatinship, Bhns says.
Have a planned phrase fr mre infrmal encunters.
Nt every situatin, f curse, calls fr such a thughtful apprach. Think thrugh times when yu’ve gtten stressed ver delivering a quick “n”, and then brainstrm phrases yu culd use in the future. Bhns, fr example, is ften asked t dnate t sme cause r anther as she checks ut at the grcery stre. ____38____ “It’s true, and it’s a way f saying, essentially, that I’m still a gd persn,” she says.
____39____
There’s always that ne guy wh wn’t take n fr an answer. If smene is applying undue pressure, adpt what psychlgist Ellen Hendriksen describes as the brken-recrd technique. ____40____ Occasinally, the asker will get irritated (恼火的), she says — but usually after repeating yurself tw r three times, even the mst persistent (执著的) peple will get the message.
A. She says n directly.
B. It’s sticking t yur answer.
C. Adpt the brken-recrd technique.
D. Repeat yur request again and again.
E. She nw has a g-t respnse: “I already dnated this year.”
F. One way t d that is by thanking peple fr thinking f yu.
G. Yu might have heard the tip that “n” is a cmplete sentence.

“I challenge yu t a hundred-meter race,” my ppnent, Julius, declared. He had beaten me cuntless times during practice, but I wanted t prve him wrng fr a change. “That’ll wipe the smile ff his face!” I thught, even as fear started t pur in my stmach. He was well-knwn arund the schl fr being the fastest runner n the track-and-field team, while I tailed behind in secnd place- a respectable psitin, but nt yet gd enugh t surpass (超过) him. Nevertheless, I shk his hand and said, “Challenge accepted!” Hwever, negative thughts flded my mind. Wuld I be able t win? After all, Julius’ speed f light wuld guarantee a sure win!
Sn, all my friends and the teachers had gathered arund t watch the challenge. “Oh n, I will lse and be embarrassed in frnt f the whle schl!” I spke in a lw vice. Nevertheless, I turned my wrried expressin int a determined smile. T keep myself frm sinking int self-dubt, I did sme stretches and jumping jacks t warm up my bdy.
Finally, the crucial mment arrived. The referee(裁判)fired the starting gun and we tk ff like a sht. Adrenaline(肾上腺素) rcketed thrugh my bdy as I launched myself frward. True t my expectatins, Julius caught up with me easily and was in the lead! “N way will I lse! Victry, here I cme!” I mtivated myself as anger cursed thrugh my bdy. As the race prgressed, my eyes lcked nt Julius, his athletic frm effrtlessly mving ahead. His quick steps and strng fcus shwcased his impressive skills. Yet, I refused t let dubt cnsume me. A fierce fire burnt within, fueled by a mix f unwillingness t admit defeat and anger. Hw dare he assume he was unbeatable? With every step, my determinatin slidified(变坚定), and my reslve t surpass him strengthened.
