It’s a sunny March afternn at Winchester Village Elementary Schl in Indianaplis, and teacher Natasha Cummings is leading her class in a brand new lessn. It’s the first time she’s teaching it and als likely the last. The secnd graders audibly take a shrt quick breath when Cummings explains the day’s activity: They’ll be simulating(a ttal slar eclipse (日全食) using the real sun, an inflatable glbe and a mn made ut f a play dugh ball munted n a stick.
On April 8, a narrw strip f Nrth America will experience a ttal slar eclipse, in which the mn entirely cvers the sun, darkening the sky s that nly the sun’s crna, a ghstly white ring, will be visible. Indianaplis is ne f several cities in the path f ttality. The last time that happened was ver 800 years ag, and it wn’t happen again until 2153. Fr many f Cummings’ students, this event is a nce-in-a-lifetime pprtunity. Cummings hpes learning abut and witnessing the eclipse will inspire her students, and get them excited abut science. It’s an experience she expects them t remember fr the rest f their lives. “This is a stry yu’re gnna be able t tell,” she reflects befre class.
In a grassy area utside the schl, Cummings’ eclipse simulatin begins: Students take turns hlding the inflatable glbes, and casting a shadw with their play dugh mns. Cummings directs them t aim the shadw ver the spt n the glbe where Indianaplis wuld be. It’s a little chatic, but the students quickly figure ut hw t prperly psitin the mn’s shadw ver their hmetwn.
Thmas Hckey, a prfessr f astrnmy at the University f Nrthern Iwa, says he didn’t learn abut slar eclipses when he was in grade schl. He thinks the fact that elementary schl teachers like Cummings are nw teaching abut them is an indicatin that science educatin has imprved since he was a child. "Science is nt dne by ld, gray-haired peple in lab cats, necessarily. Citizens can participate in it. It’s nt a magic black bx; it’s all arund us,” Hckey says.
4. Hw d the students prbably feel when tld abut the new lessn?
A. Frightened.B. Disappinted.C. Astnished.D. Satisfied.

C. T witness a real ttal slar eclipse.D. T seize a nce-in-a-lifetime chance.
6. What is paragraph 3 f the text mainly abut?

Trained gldfish demnstrated a remarkable ability t accurately estimate the distance. Spatial navigatin (空间导航) in mammals, birds, and reptiles is well understd, but it was unknwn whether similar structures existed in fish. This knwledge wuld allw us t better understand hw spatial navigatin systems evlved.
Researchers frm the University f Oxfrd tested whether gldfish culd perfrm a task central t spatial mapping-distance estimatin — t see if they have similar spatial navigatin systems t land species. The study, led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, trained nine gldfish t travel 70 cm within a narrw tank cvered with a repeating pattern f vertical stripes (竖条纹) every 2 cm. When the fish reached the predetermined distance, they were prmpted by an external cue t turn arund and swim back t the starting pint. The researchers then tested whether the fish wuld swim the same distance if the external cue was remved and the starting psitin was changed. They als tested whether gldfish wuld swim the same distance when the backgrund pattern was changed.
Accrding t the researchers, the results indicate that gldfish estimate distances by visually streaming the apparent mtin patterns f bjects in the envirnment (called “ptic flw”). Many land species are knwn t use ptic flw t estimate distance, but gldfish appear t prcess the infrmatin differently. Land animals, including humans, ants, wlf-spiders, and hney bees, estimate distances by measuring hw the angle between their eye and surrunding bjects changes as they travel. Gldfish, n the ther hand, appear t use the number f cntrast changes experienced n the way.
“We present strng evidence that gldfish can accurately estimate distance and shw that they use ptic flw t d s,” says lead authr Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux. “These findings supprt the use f gldfish as a mdel system fr studying the evlutin f the mechanisms in vertebrates (脊椎动物).”
8. What des the wrd “prmpted” underlined in the secnd paragraph refer t?
A. Punished.B. Reminded.C. Frgtten.D. Cheated.
9. Why was the external cue was taken away frm the tank?
A. T make it easy fr the gldfish t turn arund.
B. T demnstrate the gldfish’s swimming ability.
C. T research int the gldfish’s sense f distance.
D. T help the gldfish reach the learned distance.
10. Accrding t the results, gldfish estimate distances by ________.
A. cpying land animalsB. prcessing infrmatin
C. experiencing changesD. applying ptic flw
11. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Gldfish Have an Excellent Sense f Distance
B. The Use f Optic Flw Amng Land Animals
C. A Study Is Being Carried Out n Trained Gldfish
D. The Evlutin f Spatial Navigatin in Vertebrates

When we are desperately searching fr ur glasses, wallet r keys, we might wish t have a pht-graphic memry, but the truth is we are designed t frget.
In fact, the majrity f what we experience in a given day is likely t be frgtten in less than 24 hurs. And that is a gd thing. Think f all the passing encunters with peple yu will never see again and the times yu spend waiting in a queue at the supermarket. If ur brains harded (贮藏) every mment f every experience, we wuld never be able t find the infrmatin we need amng an ever-increasing pile f infrmatin.
S, if memry is nt suppsed t be a cmprehensive cllectin f the past, what is the pint f remembering at all?T answer this questin, it helps t think abut what it means t remember in the first place. Fr mre than 25 years, I have studied hw we are able t recall past events, an ability knwn as “episdic memry”. It is described as the uniquely human capability fr “mental time travel, raming at will ver what has happened as readily as ver what might happen, independently f the physical laws that gvern the universe”. I first read this descriptin f mental time travel when I was a graduate student, and I was deeply sceptical. Nw, with the wisdm f age, I understand what it meant.
When yu recall a rich episdic memry, there is a nticeable feeling f being transprted back t a pint in yur past, a specific time and place. Fr instance, the smell f freshly baked pastries might remind yu f having breakfast with yur grandmther. Findings frm my lab and thers have shwn that, at the mment f remembering, the brain appears t return a bit t the state that it was in at the time, enabling us t relive these past experiences.
This is why, if yu have misplaced yur keys, it can be helpful t put yurself, mentally int the cntext where yu last saw them. Getting in tuch with the sights, sunds and thughts frm an earlier time perid can be an effective way f accessing thse memries.
12. Why des the authr think frgetfulness is a gd thing?
A. We are brn t frget the past events.
B. It helps t find the needed infrmatin.
C. All the encunters are nt that pleasant.
D. Our brains fail t hard imprtant mments.
13. What d we knw abut “episdic memry”?
A. It partly depends n the physical laws.
B. It explains ur ability t remember the past.
C. It becmes bvius with the wisdm f age.
D. It fcuses n purpseful mental time travel.
14. What is the authr’s purpse in mentining freshly baked pastries?
A. T express lve fr grandmther.B. T share a feeling f time travel.
C. T illustrate a vivid episdic memry.D. T frget precius past experiences.
15. What can we d t find the misplaced keys?
A. Recall the situatin where we saw them.
B. Search the labs where we d experiments.
C. Think in ur mind what they lked like.
D. Write ur real thughts related t them.

Me? I had the spelling bee (拼字比赛). The bee was my Wrld Series. And what happened during a Spelling Bee remained fresh in my memry.
I trained every day n my frnt steps after schl, the dictinary pages rippling sftly in the breeze. I frmed a habit carrying arund my buddies Lngman, Webster, and Oxfrd.
As sn as I pened my eyes n Friday mrning, I felt the hairs n my arm stand up. I glanced at my alarm clck—it was nly 6:27. I usually wke up at 7:01, which meant I had an extra thirty-fur minutes t study. Starting with the wrd “judgment” which I always spelt as “J-U-D-G-M-A-N-T”, I went ver several wrds.
T calm my butterflies in my stmach, I reminded myself that I was ne f the best spellers in my class. I was nt ambitius enugh t want t g t the Scripps Natinal Spelling Bee r anything—I just wanted t win the bee at Meadwbrk Middle Schl, s that I culd defeat my main enemy, Nathan Frtescue.
Nathan thught he was a better speller than I was, but he didn’t even study wrds. He just read tns f science and math bks. Really, he wasn’t a speller at heart—he was a mathematician. Nathan and I had nthing in cmmn except being gd spellers, but since he was a gd speller withut even trying, it didn’t cunt. I bet if yu gave Nathan a mdern literature wrd like “denuement”, he’d be ut n the first rund.
The Spelling Bee wasn’t until after lunch, s all I did in the mrning was stare at the clck and wndered hw secnds culd pssibly pass by s slwly. I sneaked away frm lunch early s I culd get in a few extra minutes f study time.

It’s a sunny March afternn at Winchester Village Elementary Schl in Indianaplis, and teacher Natasha Cummings is leading her class in a brand new lessn. It’s the first time she’s teaching it and als likely the last. The secnd graders audibly take a shrt quick breath when Cummings explains the day’s activity: They’ll be simulating(a ttal slar eclipse (日全食) using the real sun, an inflatable glbe and a mn made ut f a play dugh ball munted n a stick.
On April 8, a narrw strip f Nrth America will experience a ttal slar eclipse, in which the mn entirely cvers the sun, darkening the sky s that nly the sun’s crna, a ghstly white ring, will be visible. Indianaplis is ne f several cities in the path f ttality. The last time that happened was ver 800 years ag, and it wn’t happen again until 2153. Fr many f Cummings’ students, this event is a nce-in-a-lifetime pprtunity. Cummings hpes learning abut and witnessing the eclipse will inspire her students, and get them excited abut science. It’s an experience she expects them t remember fr the rest f their lives. “This is a stry yu’re gnna be able t tell,” she reflects befre class.
In a grassy area utside the schl, Cummings’ eclipse simulatin begins: Students take turns hlding the inflatable glbes, and casting a shadw with their play dugh mns. Cummings directs them t aim the shadw ver the spt n the glbe where Indianaplis wuld be. It’s a little chatic, but the students quickly figure ut hw t prperly psitin the mn’s shadw ver their hmetwn.
Thmas Hckey, a prfessr f astrnmy at the University f Nrthern Iwa, says he didn’t learn abut slar eclipses when he was in grade schl. He thinks the fact that elementary schl teachers like Cummings are nw teaching abut them is an indicatin that science educatin has imprved since he was a child. "Science is nt dne by ld, gray-haired peple in lab cats, necessarily. Citizens can participate in it. It’s nt a magic black bx; it’s all arund us,” Hckey says.
4. Hw d the students prbably feel when tld abut the new lessn?
A. Frightened.B. Disappinted.C. Astnished.D. Satisfied.

A. T imprve their stry-telling skills.B. T stir up their passin fr science.
C. T witness a real ttal slar eclipse.D. T seize a nce-in-a-lifetime chance.
6. What is paragraph 3 f the text mainly abut?
A. The prcess f the simulatin.B. The directin f Cummings.
C The psitin f the mn.D. The reactin f the students.
7. What des Thmas Hckey suggest peple d t learn science?
A. D experiments in lab cats.B. Study hard in elementary schl.

Trained gldfish demnstrated a remarkable ability t accurately estimate the distance. Spatial navigatin (空间导航) in mammals, birds, and reptiles is well understd, but it was unknwn whether similar structures existed in fish. This knwledge wuld allw us t better understand hw spatial navigatin systems evlved.
Researchers frm the University f Oxfrd tested whether gldfish culd perfrm a task central t spatial mapping-distance estimatin — t see if they have similar spatial navigatin systems t land species. The study, led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, trained nine gldfish t travel 70 cm within a narrw tank cvered with a repeating pattern f vertical stripes (竖条纹) every 2 cm. When the fish reached the predetermined distance, they were prmpted by an external cue t turn arund and swim back t the starting pint. The researchers then tested whether the fish wuld swim the same distance if the external cue was remved and the starting psitin was changed. They als tested whether gldfish wuld swim the same distance when the backgrund pattern was changed.
Accrding t the researchers, the results indicate that gldfish estimate distances by visually streaming the apparent mtin patterns f bjects in the envirnment (called “ptic flw”). Many land species are knwn t use ptic flw t estimate distance, but gldfish appear t prcess the infrmatin differently. Land animals, including humans, ants, wlf-spiders, and hney bees, estimate distances by measuring hw the angle between their eye and surrunding bjects changes as they travel. Gldfish, n the ther hand, appear t use the number f cntrast changes experienced n the way.
“We present strng evidence that gldfish can accurately estimate distance and shw that they use ptic flw t d s,” says lead authr Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux. “These findings supprt the use f gldfish as a mdel system fr studying the evlutin f the mechanisms in vertebrates (脊椎动物).”
8. What des the wrd “prmpted” underlined in the secnd paragraph refer t?
A. Punished.B. Reminded.C. Frgtten.D. Cheated.
9. Why was the external cue was taken away frm the tank?
A. T make it easy fr the gldfish t turn arund.
B. T demnstrate the gldfish’s swimming ability.
C. T research int the gldfish’s sense f distance.
D. T help the gldfish reach the learned distance.
10. Accrding t the results, gldfish estimate distances by ________.
A. cpying land animalsB. prcessing infrmatin
C. experiencing changesD. applying ptic flw
11. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Gldfish Have an Excellent Sense f Distance
B. The Use f Optic Flw Amng Land Animals
C. A Study Is Being Carried Out n Trained Gldfish
D. The Evlutin f Spatial Navigatin in Vertebrates

When we are desperately searching fr ur glasses, wallet r keys, we might wish t have a pht-graphic memry, but the truth is we are designed t frget.
In fact, the majrity f what we experience in a given day is likely t be frgtten in less than 24 hurs. And that is a gd thing. Think f all the passing encunters with peple yu will never see again and the times yu spend waiting in a queue at the supermarket. If ur brains harded (贮藏) every mment f every experience, we wuld never be able t find the infrmatin we need amng an ever-increasing pile f infrmatin.
S, if memry is nt suppsed t be a cmprehensive cllectin f the past, what is the pint f remembering at all?T answer this questin, it helps t think abut what it means t remember in the first place. Fr mre than 25 years, I have studied hw we are able t recall past events, an ability knwn as “episdic memry”. It is described as the uniquely human capability fr “mental time travel, raming at will ver what has happened as readily as ver what might happen, independently f the physical laws that gvern the universe”. I first read this descriptin f mental time travel when I was a graduate student, and I was deeply sceptical. Nw, with the wisdm f age, I understand what it meant.
When yu recall a rich episdic memry, there is a nticeable feeling f being transprted back t a pint in yur past, a specific time and place. Fr instance, the smell f freshly baked pastries might remind yu f having breakfast with yur grandmther. Findings frm my lab and thers have shwn that, at the mment f remembering, the brain appears t return a bit t the state that it was in at the time, enabling us t relive these past experiences.
This is why, if yu have misplaced yur keys, it can be helpful t put yurself, mentally int the cntext where yu last saw them. Getting in tuch with the sights, sunds and thughts frm an earlier time perid can be an effective way f accessing thse memries.
12. Why des the authr think frgetfulness is a gd thing?
A. We are brn t frget the past events.
B. It helps t find the needed infrmatin.
C. All the encunters are nt that pleasant.
D. Our brains fail t hard imprtant mments.
13. What d we knw abut “episdic memry”?
A. It partly depends n the physical laws.
B. It explains ur ability t remember the past.
C. It becmes bvius with the wisdm f age.
D. It fcuses n purpseful mental time travel.
14. What is the authr’s purpse in mentining freshly baked pastries?
A. T express lve fr grandmther.B. T share a feeling f time travel.
C. T illustrate a vivid episdic memry.D. T frget precius past experiences.
15. What can we d t find the misplaced keys?
A. Recall the situatin where we saw them.
B. Search the labs where we d experiments.
C. Think in ur mind what they lked like.
D. Write ur real thughts related t them.

Me? I had the spelling bee (拼字比赛). The bee was my Wrld Series. And what happened during a Spelling Bee remained fresh in my memry.
I trained every day n my frnt steps after schl, the dictinary pages rippling sftly in the breeze. I frmed a habit carrying arund my buddies Lngman, Webster, and Oxfrd.
As sn as I pened my eyes n Friday mrning, I felt the hairs n my arm stand up. I glanced at my alarm clck—it was nly 6:27. I usually wke up at 7:01, which meant I had an extra thirty-fur minutes t study. Starting with the wrd “judgment” which I always spelt as “J-U-D-G-M-A-N-T”, I went ver several wrds.
T calm my butterflies in my stmach, I reminded myself that I was ne f the best spellers in my class. I was nt ambitius enugh t want t g t the Scripps Natinal Spelling Bee r anything—I just wanted t win the bee at Meadwbrk Middle Schl, s that I culd defeat my main enemy, Nathan Frtescue.
Nathan thught he was a better speller than I was, but he didn’t even study wrds. He just read tns f science and math bks. Really, he wasn’t a speller at heart—he was a mathematician. Nathan and I had nthing in cmmn except being gd spellers, but since he was a gd speller withut even trying, it didn’t cunt. I bet if yu gave Nathan a mdern literature wrd like “denuement”, he’d be ut n the first rund.
The Spelling Bee wasn’t until after lunch, s all I did in the mrning was stare at the clck and wndered hw secnds culd pssibly pass by s slwly. I sneaked away frm lunch early s I culd get in a few extra minutes f study time.
