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, which leads 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 assumed t be available during an emergency, direct help frm thers is far less likely t 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 learned Heimlich frm 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 turn deserves anther.B．Every clud has a silver lining.
C．A friend in need is a friend indeed.D．Actin speaks luder than inactin.

Advances in AI and machine learning have sparked interest frm gvernments that wuld like t use these tls fr patrlling (巡查) purpsefully befrehand t prevent crime. Hwever, early effrts at crime predictin have been cntrversial, because they d nt allw fr systematic biases (偏差) in plice enfrcement (实施) and its cmplex relatinship with crime and sciety.
University f Chicag (UC) data and scial scientists have develped a new algrithm (算法) that frecasts crime by learning patterns in time and gegraphic lcatins frm public data n vilent and prperty crimes. It has demnstrated success at predicting future crimes ne week in advance with apprximately 90% accuracy.
The new tl was tested and validated using histrical data frm the City f Chicag arund tw brad categries f reprted events: vilent crimes and prperty crimes.
The new mdel islates crime by lking at the time and spatial crdinates (坐标) f separate events and detecting patterns t predict future events. It divides the city int spatial sectins rughly 1,000 feet acrss and predicts crime within these areas instead f relying n traditinal neighbrhd r plitical bundaries, which are als subject t bias. The mdel perfrmed just as well with data frm seven ther US cities.
Ishanu Chattpadhyay, senir authr f the study, is careful t nte that the tl’s accuracy des nt mean that it shuld be used t direct law enfrcement, with plice departments using it t flck t neighbrhds ahead f time t stp crime. Instead, it shuld be added t a tlbx f urban plicies and plicing strategies t address crime.
“We created a digital twin f urban envirnments. If yu feed it data frm what happened in the past, it will tell yu what’s ging t happen in future. It’s nt magical; there are limitatins, but we tested it and it wrks well,” Chattpadhyay said. “Nw yu can use this as a mdel tl t see what happens if crime ges up in ne area, r there is increased enfrcement in anther area. If yu apply all these different data, yu can see hw the system evlves in respnse.”
28．What infrmatin wuld data and scial scientists in UC cllect?
A．Perids f traffic jams.B．Items f lst and fund.
C．Thefts and rbberies n the street.D．Deaths in traffic accidents.
29．What des the underlined wrd “validated” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Cnfirmed.B．Prmted.C．Classified.D．Abandned.
30．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A．The advantages and disadvantages f this new tl.
B．The principles and gd perfrmances f this new tl.
C．Psitive feedback frm sme ther experts in this field.
D．The hard prcess f Chattpadhyay’s develping this tl.
31．What can we knw frm Chattpadhyay’s pinin n the tl’s use?
A．He des nt think it’s accurate enugh t put int use.
B．The limitatins are t be remved fr a better perfrmance.
C．The plice department can whlly rely n it t prevent criminals.
D．It can be f help when the authrity make plicies cncerning crimes.

One day, a snwstrm blanketed Washingtn, D.C., the whle city became a white wrld. When I awke, I immediately put n my warmest clthes and dashed utside. I wanted t build a snwman. Then I nticed I had audience — a cuple with cffee cups in their hands. My face flushed (脸红) with shame as I tried t cme up with an answer t their unspken questin: Dn’t yu have anything better t d?
A middle-aged wman playing by herself in the snw is an undubtedly dd sight, but maybe it shuldn’t be. Mdern adults are suffering frm excessive physical and emtinal stress. We’ve held back ur natural play instinct (本能), and that’s causing all kinds f prblems — fr urselves, ur children, and ur planet.
Playing suggests that smewhere, deep in ur evlutinary histry, a playful human came up with the cncept f stne tls. Even tday, the urge t play underlies mst f humanity’s greatest inventins, artwrks, and scientific breakthrughs. “When I interviewed Nbel Prize winners, I was struck by hw mst f them didn’t separate wrk and play. Their labs were their playgrunds,” says Stuart Brwn, a play researcher.
While bject play ccasinally results in direct applicatins, it has a mre general benefit as well, says animal behavirist Marc Bekff. “Mst frms f play are abut preparing fr the unexpected by expanding yur behaviral skills.” When animals play by themselves — such as gats jumping arund and intentinally landing awkwardly — they learn tw lessns: Hw t recver frm missteps and, mre generally, hw t remain calm when things g sideways.
When it cmes t humans, as we fully transitin t a knwledge-based ecnmy, wrk and play are beginning t cmbine again. Sme f tday’s mst successful cmpanies were started by peple running small business in their garages. Organizatins like these understand the value f encuraging adults t play. In many cases, peple aren’t needed fr rutine, bring tasks any mre. “Yu need passinate peple wh can invent new things, wh can think f new ways f ding things,” Brwn says.
The next time I’m caught playing, I knw exactly what I’ll say: “I am nt wasting time r acting immature. I’m playing fr the benefit f all humanity. Yu’re welcme.”
32．Why des the authr mentin his wn experience in the beginning?
A．T present a fact.B．T describe a scene.
C．T clarify a cncept.D．T intrduce a tpic.
33．What can be inferred frm the third paragraph?
A．Mdern adults are free t act n their instincts.
B．Play is the driving pwer behind human prgress.
C．Humans make scientific breakthrughs by playing.
D．Nbel Prize winners ften separate wrk frm play.
34．What qualities d cmpanies mst need in the knwledge-based ecnmy era?
A．Teamwrk and hnesty.B．Leadership and empathy.
C．Innvatin and enthusiasm.D．Patience and determinatin.
35．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A．Adults shuld priritize playtimeB．Adults need t make time fr play
C．Play can expand and crrect behavirD．Play is the surce f human inventins

Hw lng des it take t becme an elite (精英) in yur field? 36 That’s what Jhn Hayes, a cgnitive psychlgy prfessr at Carnegie Melln University, wanted t knw.
Fr decades, Hayes has been investigating the rle f effrt, practice and knwledge in tp perfrmers. 37 The research fcused n peple like Mzart and Picass t determine hw lng it tk them t becme wrld-class at their craft.
Let’s talk abut what Hayes has discvered abut wrld-class-perfrmers. And mre imprtantly, let’s discuss hw yu can use these insights t achieve yur gals and becme yur best.
38 He analyzed thusands f musical pieces prduced frm 1685 t 1900. The central questin that drve his wrk was, “Hw lng after ne becmes interested in music is it that ne becmes wrld-class?” Eventually, Hayes develped a list f 500 pieces f “masterwrks” in the field, which were created by a ttal f 76 cmpsers.
Hayes mapped ut the timeline f each cmpsers’ career. 39 What he discvered was that virtually every single “masterwrk” was written after the tenth year f the cmpser’s career. Nt a single persn prduced incredible wrk withut putting in a decade f practice first. Even a genius like Mzart had t wrk fr at least ten years befre he prduced smething that became ppular. 40
In fllw-up studies, Hayes fund similar patterns amng famus painters and ppular pets. These findings have been further cnfirmed by research frm prfessrs like K. Anders Ericssn, wh prduced research that revealed that yu needed t put in “10, 000 hurs” t becme an elite r expert in yur field.
A．It takes time t achieve yur gals.
B．And what d peple like ding in their spare time?
C．He has studied the mst talented creatrs in histry.
D．Hayes started his research by examining successful cmpsers.
E．Prfessr Hayes began t refer t this perid as the “ten years f silence”.
F．And what d the successful peple d differently than the rest f us?
G．And then he calculated hw lng they had been wrking befre they created their ppular wrks.

“Why d yu always aplgize befre yu ask a questin?” my clleague, Dan asked. I lked at him 41 , nt understanding what he meant but felt that there was mre than a trace f 42 in his tne.
“There’s n reasn fr it; yu shuldn’t d that,” he said. “Srry if it annys yu,” I respnded. I prbably annyed him again by 43 again.
This happened ver 35 years ag, but I still 44 it nw. Asking questins in cnversatin isn’t that 45 , at least nt t me.
I figured ut sme 46 . The first was self-cnsciusness and insecurity. Had I missed smething the prfessr said? I knew sme students, as a result f such 47 , didn’t ask questins. I had enugh cnfidence t ask, but nt enugh t nt 48 the way f asking.
I dn’t think it ccurred t me at the time, but it did years later, that it als prbably related t being 49 . I knew that a wman was always tld there was a line f nt 50 thers t aggressively.
Besides, I became cnscius f nt implying 51 — I didn’t want a prfessr t think I was questining their expertise, r suggesting they were a 52 teacher. It seemed like a reasnable strategy t start by 53 that I was wrng r uninfrmed.
Befre Dan’s cmment, I hadn’t thught abut it 54 , and much less cnsidered that there culd be a 55 while ding it. But I was learning that there was, and it culd be unpleasant. Frtunately, I think I’ve dne it less nw.

She was the prettiest puppy we had ever seen, and the whle family immediately fell in lve with her. We named her Onyx because f her black, shiny black cat. She spent her first vacatin with us when she was nly ten weeks ld and had her first bath and swim in the St. Lawrence River. We had n clue that this amazing little ball f fur wuld end up being ur her.

Amazingly standing n the tp f the tube, she smiled while shwing ff her perfect balance. Resting her frnt legs and paws ver the edge f the rubber tube, she kept her eyes shut as she flated until she’d had enugh f the warm sun n her black cat.
One day, ur eighteen-year-ld daughter, Margie, annunced she was ging t swim acrss the bay. N ne in the family was free t g swimming with her. The unwritten rules, regardless f swimming ability, was t have a cmpanin in the water with yu, especially when swimming the width f the bay. I was nt a gd swimmer, s I said t Margie, “Take Onyx with yu.” Having heard her name, Onyx wke up frm a nap and was ready fr actin. Margie signed the dg t fllw her. Onyx ran t the water next t her.

Suddenly I heard Margie calling ut, “I have a cram ( 痉李 ) in the leg! ” Seized with panic, Margie rubbed her leg hard t relax the muscle but in vain. Seeing her struggling in the water, Onyx immediately swam t the side f Margie and then put her head beneath the girl’s right arm. I yelled fr help fr fear that they might freeze in the chilly river. But much t my jy, with Margie tightly grabbing Onyx’s cllar, ur little furry friend began digging deep, slicing thrugh the water with her paws and swimming fast twards the bank with every unce f strength.
Seeing the pair appraching the riverbank, I breathed a sigh f relief. When they finally gt t the shre, I reached ut t help Margie, pulling her up nt the riverbank and wrapping her in a large twel. Exhausted but excited, Onyx eagerly ran t Margie and gently licked her face t make sure she was Okay, Everyne in the family was grateful fr their safe return and Onyx was given an extra treat later in the afternn fr her quick and brave reactin. She became ur her that day and she never ceased t amaze us in the days that fllwed.

M: Hey, everyne. My name is Steve. Whenever I tell peple what I d fr a living, they can hardly believe this jb exists. But I’m nt jking! I spend my days at wrk eating chclate! Tasting the chclate is an imprtant part f making sure that custmers get perfect bars f high-quality chclate frm the cmpany I wrk fr. Every week I receive chclate frm ur factry and I have t check them fr taste and smell. Just beside my cmpany ffice I have a kitchen where I can test and taste the prducts—and I keep my clleagues happy by giving them sme! My kitchen is full f machines t play with. It’s wnderful t have a private space I can g t during the day.
N tw days are the same in this jb. Smetimes I am at ur fd lab and ther times I’m ut f the cuntry buying ur raw materials and as I’ve gt a yung family that can be difficult. But that kind f variety, and lack f rutine, is smething I lve abut the jb, althugh I think it still cmes secnd t the chclate itself! The questin I get asked mst is whether I get bred f chclate. I’ve wrked with it fr a lng time, and I’ve never felt I didn’t want t eat it. In fact, I’ll ften g hme and eat sme mre in the evening.
