【B】
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 virtual stranger whm she wuld never see again, cared.
This experience als taught me abut the bystander effect, where peple assume that thers 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 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 deepened her understanding f the bystander effect.
D. She develped a fear f witnessing similar events.
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 perfrmed first aid by hitting the wman’s back.
D. She fund a “medically cmpetent” persn fr her.
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 walked away after the rescue men asked yu t leave the scene .
D. Yu avided invlvement when seeing an injured lady n the rad.
27. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. A gd turn deserves anther. B. Every clud has a silver lining.
C. Actin speaks luder than inactin. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

“Are we alne in the universe? That’s the key questin we’re trying t answer here,” Meenakshi Wadhwa, a planetary scientist, tells her class. As she explains, ne student takes ntes while anther hlds up an iPhne t take a pht f the slides. In many ways this lecture hall at Arizna State University is like any ther. In the frnt rw sit attentively a grup f enthusiastic wmen and spread ut in the back are the men. But the hearing aids suggest hw unusual this class is.
Mirabella, a 20-strey “university retirement cmmunity” n ASU’s campus, is hme t ver 300 retired peple. When it was pened in 2020, the senir-living facility was virtually subscribed t capacity. Mst residents are having a ball. They can attend the same classes and cultural events as students, but with the distinct benefit f nt having t take exams. In their drms, facilities include an art studi, a pl and gym, and a games rm. Only the secnd flr feels institutinal, with a memry-care centre and rms fr residents wh need rund-the-clck attentin.
This is part f a wider trend. An estimated 85 clleges in America are nw cnnected t senir living cmmunities. With mre than 10,000 baby bmers(生育高峰期出生的人) in America turning 65 every day, the pprtunity fr alternative frms f retirement is large. Cmpared with previus generatins, bmers are wealthy, educated and picky. They want t remain active and nt lcked away. These wishes can all be met n a university campus.
Fr universities, welcming pensiners(领退休金者) can make sense t. Natinally, undergraduate enrlment(入学，登记) drpped frm ver 18m in 2010 t belw 16m in 2022. As fr what t d with the extra space, the smartest nes, Andrew Carle at Gergetwn University says, prvide a cntinuum(渐变群) f care — including fr the very last stage f life. “The charity is the frsting n the cake,” he says f the ptential that residents will include universities in their wills.
28. Hw des the writer intrduce the tpic?
A. By raising a questin.B. By making a cmparisn.
C. By ffering an explanatin.D. By giving a descriptin.
29. Why are university retirement cmmunities well-received?
A. They prvide free medical care.B. They have varius research facilities.
C. They allw students t take exams flexibly.
D. They help senirs live an active and engaging life.
30. Hw can universities benefit frm integrating senir living cmmunities?
A. It addresses the university enrlment decline.
B. It draws public attentin t university educatin.
C. It earns universities the fame fr caring fr senirs.
D. It bsts the university’s research int the last stage f life.
31. What is the text mainly abut?
A. Different frms f retirement.
B. The educatin benefits f pensiners.
C. The trend f retiring n cllege campuses.
D. A new way fr universities t make prfits.

What will the develpment f quantum cmputers (量子计算机) mean fr ur civilizatins? Oh sure, better cryptgraphy (密码方式), “mre pwerful” prcessing, but bttm line, we just dn’t
This phenmenn isn’t unique t quantum cmputing, f curse. It’s smething we see time and again with all new wrld-changing technlgy. In sme ways, it’s hw we can define a technlgy as wrld-changing: everyne agrees it’s ging t be hugely imprtant, but nbdy can predict exactly what impact it will have.
The Internet remains the classic example. Althugh invented in the 1960s, even by the late 1990s, the Internet was still being dismissed as smething that is fashinable but unlikely t last. Mst cmmentatrs thught it nthing mre than a curisity.
There’s a famus 1999 interview between David Bwie and BBC jurnalist Jeremy Paxman. In it, Bwie predicts that the Internet will change the nature f music, and remve the “barriers between creatr and audience”. The lnger he spke, the mre Paxman said in anger that Bwie culd pssibly believe this abut the Internet.
T be fair t Paxman, in 1999, internet at hme meant accessing it ver a mdem. Cncepts like WeChat and Netflix culd nt wrk ver such limited bandwidth(宽带). But there were still sme peple wh assumed that bandwidth wuld increase and that streaming music and vide wuld be pssible sn enugh. They were laughed at.
Oddly enugh, as the dt-cm bm heightened, many turned frm dubters t hpeless ptimists, and lst serius mney building websites t deliver cntent that simply culdn’t “fit” dwn the inter-tubes f the day.
Then in the secnd decade f the 21st century: critical mass. Bandwidth increased massively. Frget shwing a nice little vide in yur brwser, tday Netflix can serve yu a TV shw in 4K, as lng as yu have 25Mbps cnnectin.
Quantum cmputing isn’t a cnsumer technlgy, f curse. It’s a much bigger deal than that. Quantum cmputing is mre like the inventin f the transistr (电子晶体). Sure, mst peple have heard f it, but few understand it. Actually, we dn’t even really understand it. But we’re reasnably cmfrtable that when a lab has that many scanning electrn micrscpes, it must be ding smething imprtant, right?
Quantum cmputing is still at the stage f “hit it with a hammer until it wrks”. Sure the hammer is micrscpic, and als a laser r magnetic field f sme kind, but the pint is we’re ging thrugh the prcess f turning the idea int reality.
Sner than yu think, thugh, qubit-based(基于量子比特的) cmputers are ging t get applied t stuff. What stuff? Like always, it will be super secret stuff first. Then it will reach the rest f us.
This is hw the wrld begins. Nt with a bang, but with a lt f extremely hard wrk behind the scenes.
32. What attitude did mst peple take twards the Internet in the 1990s?
A. Optimistic.B. Uncncerned.C. Dubtful.D. Defensive.
33. The example f the internet is intended t illustrate that .
A. it is hard t define what is wrld-changing technlgy
B. the Internet was universally acknwledged as imprtant
C. the influence f new technlgy is usually unpredictable
D. the Internet inspired many debates in the fllwing years
34. By “hit it with a hammer until it wrks”, the writer means that quantum cmputing ________.
A. has been questinedB. has been fully understd
C. hasn’t been heard f befreD. hasn’t been applied t practice
35. What can be cncluded abut new technlgy frm the passage?
A. Its develpment is a gradual prcess.B. Mst is the brainchild f a scientist.
C. Nt all is accessible t the public.D. Its future is ften a tp secret.

We humans are cmparisn creatures. 36 This quality may have evlved as a means f helping us fit int the scial hierarchy(等级) f the cultures we inhabited. Regardless f the reasns, scial cmparisn plays a significant rle in hw we view and evaluate urselves, and hw we interact with ur wrld.
It used t be that ur primary reference f cmparisn was ur lcal cmmunities, primarily neighbrs and c-wrkers. Because we tend t gather arund thse similar t urselves in terms f educatinal level, wrk incme, and shared interests, the range f differences when we cmpared urselves t thers was fairly small. Unfrtunately, with the emergence f the Internet, we can nw cmpare urselves t literally anyne in the wrld.
37 What had in previus generatins been a small gap in ur cmparisns has nw becme s large and unachievable.
38 When s many peple that are easily discverable n the Internet seem t be s successful, famus, influential and beautiful, given ur preference t cmpare, it is difficult nt t have it influence hw we view urselves. Sadly, these cmparisns usually result in ur feeling inadequate and inferir(较差的，次的).
These harmful cmparisns als damage ur emtinal lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety f unpleasant and unhealthy emtins. We feel jealusy and envy fr what thers have and what we lack. 39
It’s ne thing t realize that yu cmpare yurself t thers. It’s anther thing t recgnize that scial cmparisn is ften crrsive(逐步侵蚀的) t yu in s many ways psychlgically and emtinally. It’s an entirely ther thing t stp yurself frm cmparing yurself t thers. 40
A. We are cnstantly measuring urselves against ther peple.
B. Yet it is pssible, and it is wrth the effrt fr yur mental health.
C. Thus, we are nw expsed t grups that are quite different frm us.
D. We believe that there is smething wrng with us cmpared t thers.
E. We can even feel bitterness and anger at thers fr the unfairness f it all.
F. Cmparing urselves t thers has the ptential t increase ur life experience.
G. This new level f cmparisn has huge implicatins fr ur psychlgical lives.

In a small twn lcated in the heart f a green valley, there lived tw friends, Alex and Ben. They grew up playing by the banks f the crystal-clear River Jade, which flwed thrugh their village, prviding them with a surce f jy. After schl. they wuld catch fish r swim in it, adding clr and fun t their life.
When they were in middle schl, hwever, they started t lse the eagerness t play in the river. The nce crystal-clear water was nw dirty and smelly with garbage such as bttles and plastic bags flating n its surface, and the fish that nce swam lively here seemed t be gne. They really gt upset abut it.
Nthing changed until ne day. Alex attended a lecture n prtecting the earth frm being plluted in the schl. He was shcked t see the terrible pllutin caused by human’s activities and gt t appreciate the imprtance f prtecting the earth. After the lecture, Alex walked hme with a heavy heart, cncerned abut the huge amunt f annying rubbish in the river. Suddenly an idea flashed acrss his mind. He rushed t Ben’s hme and culdn’t wait t share it with Ben.
Later, they went t the riverbank tgether.
“Our river is sick,” said Alex in a wrried tne, “We need t find a way t heal it.”
“Yes,” said Ben in agreement. “It’s ur respnsibility t prtect the hmetwn river. What can we d?”
Alex suggested eagerly, “We shuld clean up the garbage frm the riverbanks at weekends.”
Ben ndded thughtfully and said, “That is a gd idea. But it is impssible fr nly tw f us t remve s much garbage. Besides, the villagers may thrw garbage int the river again and again.”
“Yu’re right! Maybe we need mre helpers and als need t educate mre peple abut the imprtance f keeping ur river clean and encurage them t make a change.”
Finally, they bth decided that smething must be dne befre it was t late.

Spt
Over 1,000 f these yellw rbts, Spt, are already checking factries and pwer plants. And nw the New Yrk City Fire Department is starting t use the dg-like devices fr search-and-rescue missins.
In April 2024, a Spt surveyed the remains f a cllapsed car park that was cnsidered t unstable fr fire crews t enter. Spt can als send back vide ftage, carry up t 14 kg and, when fitted with an add-n “arm”, pen drs and press switches.
Lightning Swarm
Inspired by fireflies, these rbts are tiny and can give ut light in varius clrs. The scientists intend the rbts t use their lights t signal t and track each ther: a lw-pwer cmmunicatin strategy fr a lightweight rbt.
“We envisin(展望) sending hundreds r mre f these tiny flying rbts int a disaster site, and having them cllectively search fr survivrs,” says MIT rbtics engineer Prf Kevin Chen. “Once a survivr is fund, they’ll pass the infrmatin ut t the peratrs.”
Trail Blazers
At the Bajia Firc Rescue Statin, in Yantai, nrtheast China. a firefighter tests ut a fire-fighting rbt.
Fr a few years, China has been prmting the technlgy, which allws human firefighters t stay safely utside the danger zne while cntrlling rbt firefighters t put ut fires at chemical plants and in subways. One majr advantage f this apprach is fire resistance — Trail Blazers can wrk at temperatures f 1,000℃ fr ver 30 mins.
Rster
Thanks t its clever design, Rster can rll acrss surfaces r fly arund t examine almst any type f disaster site, mving thrugh narrw passages and windws, r ver bstacles and up r dwn staircases.
Designed t assist in search peratins, the rbt uses cameras and sensrs t scan a space, s that rescuers dn’t need t enter dangerus areas. Rster can als cmmunicate with search teams and ther rbts via a radi link.
