Eugene Newman Parker, a leading figure in helispheric (日球层) physics fr the past half century, passed away peacefully at his hme in Chicag n Mar. 15. He was 94.
Acknwledged as a visinary in the field f heliphysics, Parker changed ur understanding f the sun and its effects n Earth and ther bdies within the slar system. NASA even stated that “the field f heliphysics exists in large part because f Dr. Eugene Parker”. In 2018, Parker became the first living scientist t witness the launch f a spacecraft that was named in his hnr.
Parker is best knwn fr his grundbreaking thery n the existence f a phenmenn called “slar wind”, a cntinuus stream f charged particles that flw ff the sun. It can becme vilent, causing space weather that impacts the Earth. When Parker’s research was published in 1958, his thery was initially met with skepticism (怀疑) and ridicule by the scientific cmmunity. The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an abslute vacuum (真空), and was thus cmpletely empty f any matter. But, there were n errrs in his study r his calculatins, and the thery was later prven t be crrect in 1962, when a NASA spacecraft missin t Venus revealed the cnstant presence f a supersnic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.
That experience likely led t the advice Parker ften gave yung researchers: “If yu d smething new r innvative, expect truble. But think critically abut it because if yu’re wrng, yu want t be the first ne t knw that.” Parker never c-authred a paper with his students, thus urging them t be independent.
Parker was humble, straightfrward, and wise. His sn Eric said, “My sister Jyce and I didn’t get a real feel fr what a ‘big dg’ ur dad was in the field.” They gt an even better sense when a mnth after Parker’s death, they traveled t Lund, Sweden, t accept n his behalf the Crafrd Prize in Astrnmy.
24. What can we learn frm the secnd paragraph?
A. A spacecraft was named in memry f Parker.
B. The sun has less effect n Earth than expected.
C. Parker deserved credit fr his great cntributins.
D. NASA prvided new insights int the lunar effect.
25. Why did peple view Parker’s thery f “slar wind” skeptically at first?
A. Sme mistakes were fund in his calculatins.
B. It went against the ppular pinin at that time.
C. The presence f a supersnic wind was prven by NASA.
D. Matter was believed t exist in the space between planets.
26. What advice did Parker ften give t yung researchers?
A. Expect challenges and critically evaluate yur wrk.
B. Stick t cnventinal methds t minimize risks.
C. Depend n yur prfessr fr decisin-making.
D. Cperate frequently t ensure success.
27. What wrds can be used t describe Parker accrding t the passage?
A. Respnsible and accessible. B. Straightfrward and generus.

Freign drivers will have t pay n- the- spt fines f up t £600 fr breaking the traffic law t be enfrced(强制实施) next mnth.
If they d nt have enugh cash r a wrking credit card, their vehicles will be clamped(扣留) until they pay— and they will face an additinal fee f £60 fr getting back their vehicles.
The new law will als apply t British citizens. The fines will be described fficially as“ depsits” when the traffic law takes effect, because the mney wuld be returned if the driver went t curt and was fund nt guilty. In practice, very few freign drivers are likely t return t Britain t deal with their cases.
Freign drivers are rarely charged because plice cannt take legal actin against them if they fail t appear in curt. Instead, fficers ften merely give warnings.
Three millin freign- registered vehicles enter Britain each year. Plish vehicles make up 36 percent, French vehicles 10 percent and German vehicles 9 percent.
Freign vehicles are 30 percent mre likely t be in a crash than British- registered vehicles. The number f crashes caused by freign vehicles rse by 47 percent between2018 and 2023. There were almst 400 deaths and serius injuries and 3,000 slight injuries frm accidents caused by freign vehicles in 2023.
The new law is partly intended t settle the prblem f freign lrry drivers ignring limits t weight and hurs at the wheel. Freign lrries are three times mre likely t be in a crash than British lrries. Recent spt checks fund that three quarters f lrries that failed safety tests were registered verseas.
The standard depsit fr a careless driving ffence—— such as driving t clse t the vehicle in frnt r reading a map at the wheel—— will be £300. Depsits fr speeding ffences and using mbile phnes will be £60. Freign drivers will nt get pints as punishment added t their licenses, while British drivers will.
28. What d we knw abut the new traffic law?
A. It has been well carried ut.
B. Drivers must pay their fines in cash.
C. Vehicles will be clamped fr breaking the law.
D. It is intended fr bth freign and British drivers.
29. What d we knw abut freign vehicles in Britain?
A. Many freign vehicles have been fined in Britain.
B. Half a millin French vehicles enter Britain every year.
C. 30% f freign vehicles cause rad accidents in Britain.
D. Officers prefer t warn freign drivers rather than take them t curt.
30. Accrding t the passage, what might be a reasn fr carrying ut the law?
A. T increase the incme f British plice.
B. T lwer the rate f traffic accidents and injuries.
C. T cut dwn the number f freign lrries entering Britain.
D. T get freign drivers wh cause accidents t appear in curt.
31. What wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Freign Drivers Face Heavy Punishment in Britain
B. Strict New Measures fr Traffic Safety in the UK
C. Challenges f Enfrcing Traffic Law n Freign Vehicles
D. British and Freign Drivers Equally Subject t New Traffic Law

Smewhere in the sky, lightning is frming. Althugh the pssibility f getting struck in yur lifetime is rughly 1 in 12,000, a human des prvide an attractive target fr lightning blts (闪电). Here’s what yu shuld expect if yu ever find yurself in the path f lightning.
A lt can happen in the three millisecnds it takes fr a lightning blt t curse thrugh yur bdy. Lightning strikes may leave yu with deep wunds, ften accmpanied with third degree burns. Yur clthes might even be trn by the explsive frce f the surrunding air being superheated t up t 27,700 ℃. Bld vessels (血管) explding frm the electric shck and heat ften create smething called a Lichtenberg figure n yur skin. This is a pattern f scars (伤疤) that branches ut acrss yur bdy like a tree.
But it desn’t end there. Yu might als be faced with a lifetime f neurlgical (神经系统的) cnditins fr reasns that scientists still dn’t fully understand. It’s als pssible that yu will suffer frm pain.
In sme cases, hwever, a lightning strike can lead t strange super talents. In a blg pst, University f Miami neurscientist Berit Brgaard writes abut an incident where a surgen wh was struck by lightning develped an urge t learn t play the pian. He began t cmpse music he had started hearing in his head since the strike. This type f phenmenn cnfuses scientists.
One thery that Brgaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning culd cause a ne-time flding f the brain with neurtransmitters (神经递质) that are released frm the dying neurns (神经元). This causes a rewiring f neurns, prviding access t areas f the brain that were previusly inaccessible.
Cl as it wuld be, yu shuldn’t cunt n lightning turning yu int a genius in ne flash. Mst f its results are painful, and culd stay with yu fr the rest f yur life.
28. What can we learn frm the first tw paragraphs?
A.1 in 12,000 may die frm lightning blts.B. Lightning attacks can heat bdies t 27,700℃.
C. Branching scars are typical after lightning attacks.D. Humans are the mst likely target fr lightning blts.
29. What happened t the surgen after the strike?
A. His unexplred brain areas were activated.B. His brain was left in a fixed state f death.
C. He suffered a lifetime f neurlgical pain.D. He recalled hidden memries abut music.
30. What des the underlined wrd “This” refer t in paragraph 5?
A. The cell death due t lightning strikes.B. The flding f brain’s neurtransmitters.
C. The rewiring f brain neurns.D. The release f dying neurns.
31. What is the text mainly abut?

As the saying ges, failure is the mther f success. Many f us were tld frm an early age that, at schl r in life, “yu learn frm yur mistakes.” Is this actually true?
The shrt answer is “yes”. 36 . Because we wuld nt like t fail, learning frm ur mistakes is, in reality, very hard. It desn’t feel gd. S we react t failure in emtinal ways, like giving up n a task easily, telling urselves we dn’t care whether we succeed, r finding fault with the task itself. This is self-prtective, accrding t Hallgeir Sjastad, a psychlgy prfessr. In his pinin, mst f us want t think f urselves as capable. 37 .
Frtunately there are strategies t help us vercme the emtinal barriers. 38 . Instead f asking “Why did I fail?”, we culd ask “Why did Sam fail?”, fr example. Multiple studies shw this way helps t sften ur negative emtinal reactins. Als it allws us t lk at failure mre bjectively.
39 . This led t better levels f mtivatin and academic success in the test grups — invlving bth adults and children — that were asked t give advice based n their wn failures. Prfessr Eskreis-Winkler fund that the satisfactin f helping thers “frces peple t engage with their experience and what they have learned”.
The writer Samuel Beckett nce said, “fail again, fail better.” But it nw seems that we shuld say, “fail again, fail smarter”. 40 but by learning t vercme the emtinal barriers arund it, we may find the rad t success is a little easier t navigate (驾驭).
A．Everyne needs success
B．Hard wrk leads t success
C．Failure can be a teachable mment
D．Failure is an unavidable part f life
E．One f them is t adpt a third-persn view
F．Next, ffer advice t thers in the same psitin as us
G．S what failure causes is a serius threat t ur self-image

Mst peple think that prcrastinatin (拖延症) is a negative habit. But peple like me, wh rutinely put ff ding assignments, are likely t defend ur “slwer” apprach t getting tasks dne.
I’m the nly prcrastinatr in my family. My parents and sister were all brn with the “d it right nw” gift. They are always in a rush, as if clsely rushed by an invisible deadline. Persnally, I prefer a mre relaxed pace. When my parents viced their cncern abut my tendencies, saying “Dn’t put ff until tmrrw what yu can d tday,” “N way!” I respnded, cnfidently presenting my research as a defense. It said peple prcrastinated when they need t slve a prblem r cmmit t a tpic r prject. In these cases, delaying a decisin can be beneficial. This was because ur minds cntinue t reflect n prblems even when we were nt actively thinking abut them, which culd lead t mre creative slutins. My findings filled me with satisfactin and pride. My methd f getting things dne was just as gd as my sister’s…r s I thught.
At schl we’d been talking abut architecture and design. As part f the final assessment, my teacher Mr. Smith annunced an exciting prject that each student wuld have a mnth t cmplete. We were expected t chse ur materials, cnstruct a small building and make use f things we had learned in class. Nt nly wuld the winners receive extra credit, but the winning cnstructins wuld be prudly displayed in the cafeteria. “I have n clue hw I culd get it dne,” my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn’t say anything. Nt because I shared his anxiety—but because I was nt nervus at all. I lved hands-n prjects! Picturing my brilliant wrk exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully cnvinced that I wuld definitely prduce smething that culd impress everyne. S relaxed was I that I didn’t give it a secnd thught fr weeks.
