“Mathematical symblism and metaphr(隐喻) are present in every kind f literature, frm fairy tales t War and Peace,” says mathematician Sarah Hart. In Once Upn a Prime, she lays bare sme f this hidden math and meaning in a hst f petry, nvels and legends.
She starts with nursery rhymes, ften full f cunting — such as One, Tw, Buckle My She — shwing hw numbers g int ur very first encunters with the wrld f wrds. This is nt just thrugh cunting but als thrugh the rhythms and rhyme patterns. It’s als thrugh trebling — where a wrd r phrase is repeated three times, such as “Rw, Rw, Rw Yur Bat”.
The number three is everywhere in cmmn expressins — “Ready, Set, G!” r “Learning yur ABCs.” It’s als central t stry structure. Characters tend t cme in threes, t, like The Three Little Pigs, and even in jkes.
Hart suggests this emphasis n three has sme basis in gemetry. Three is the smallest number f sticks that can make a triangle. Therefre the number three is given “a sense f strength and cmpleteness,” Hart writes.
Fr a bk abut math and literature, it’s nt surprising that Hart fcuses quite a bit n petry, which is ften defined by patterns f sme srt. Perhaps mre meaningful is her lk at hw math als creates the structure f nvels.
Sme readers may wnder if Hart’s lve f math simply leads her t find these patterns in literature. But the chances must be extremely high fr the examples she presents t be nly chance.
Hart’s simple breakdwns f bth math and literature make the bk easy fr anyne t fllw, n matter their prficiency in either subject. Nt everyne will finish the bk and discver the mathematical treasures hidden in a bk r pem. But that takes little away frm the pleasure f reading it.
28. What des the underlined phrase “lays bare” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Picks.B. Creates.C. Uncvers.D. Receives.
29. Hw des Sarah Hart supprt her pinins in her bk?
A. By referring t a subject.B. By drawing cmparisns.
C. By prviding examples.D. By using experts’ wrds.
30. What is a feature f Once Upn a Prime accrding t the text?
A. It explains a difficult mathematical thery.
B. It fcuses n the rigin f gemetry.
C. It highlights the charm f petry.
D. It reveals the mathematical impact n nvels.
31. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. A Glimpse int Mathematics
B. The Hidden Math in Literature
C. Strength and Cmpleteness f Numbers
D. Mathematical Symblism and Metaphr

Scientists can nw cnduct ce research n Earth as China’s “grund ce statin” has been put int trial peratin, reprted Xin hua. The facility is called ce Envirnment Simulatin and Research Infrastructure(SESRI).
SESRI simulates(模拟) cnditins in ce and is designed fr studying basic ce science. This will help scientists d experiments that they nrmally d in ce. SESRI is jintly develped by the Harbin Institute f Technlgy and the China Aerce Science and Technlgy Crpratin.
“ce is very different frm the envirnment n Earth and can have different effects n cecraft. What we d here is t explre hw the effects take place and why,” Li Yiyi, executive deputy directr f SESRI, tld Guangming Daily.
At the facility, there is a device that simulates the ce envirnment frm 100 kilmeters away frm Earth t the sun. In this area, mre than 99 percent f visible matter is in a plasma(等离子体) state in which gas is in a highly charged and energetic state f matter. By re-creating the envirnment, the device can test hw plasma affects cecraft.
Als, ne f the biggest prblems manned ce travel faces is when cecraft enter Earth’s atmsphere, they are surrunded by plasma, leading t cmmunicatin blackuts(黑障). The test center can als help slve this issue as researchers nw have mre pprtunities t d tests.
The researchers faced many challenges when building the simulatin system, as cnnecting varius parts f the device can be very cmplicated. “We held mre than 700 meetings ver a cnnectin prblem alne,” Jin Chenggang at the facility tld Heilngjiang News.
SESRI als has simulatin systems fr the mn and Mars, which can re-create the vacuum, extreme temperatures, and ce radiatin that astrnauts wuld encunter n these ce bdies. The systems will help astrnauts prepare fr their missins t these places in the future, reprted Guangming Daily. In the future, the platfrm will als play an imprtant rle in areas including brain science, life and health research, and the develpment f high-end instruments.
32. What is the main benefit f simulating ce envirnment?
A. Supprting ce research n Earth.
B. Reducing the cst f ce missins.
C. Studying the effects f ce n humans.
D. Imprving ur understanding f black hles.
33. What is Paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The challenge f ce explratin.
B. The risk f experiments at the SESRI.
C. The benefit f ce explratin.
D. The functin f the device at the SESRI.
34. Why des the authr qute Jin Chenggang’s wrds?
A. T share a persnal stry abut the building prcess.
B. T shw the difficulties f building the simulatin system.
C. T highlight the imprtance f preparatins fr the research.
D. T emphasize the challenges f wrking with ther research teams.
35. What des the authr imply in the last paragraph?
A. ce simulatin may be cstly.
B. ce simulatin raises scial cncerns.
C. Internatinal cperatin is crucial fr ce simulatin.
D. ce simulatin has great ptential fr future explratin.

“New Year, New Yu”. It’s January 1 again. It’s time t make New Year’s Reslutins(决心) again. On the ne hand, the New Year’s reslutins reflect ur hpe t make a persnal transfrmatin. On the ther hand, they shw ur regret f the past year. 36
The truth is that many peple fail t accmplish them and keep making new nes. It is nt because f a lack f self-discipline. 37 In ther wrds, we seek t “becme unrecgnizable”.
In fact, the appeal f a “New Yu” desn’t have t d with cncrete changes. 38 With a new year beginning, we want t finally feel that we’re in the driver’s seat when it cmes t ur health, finances, persnality and s n.
S the very cncept f “New Year, New Yu” cllapses after careful reflectin. Just like we culd never drag urselves ut f the mud by pulling n ur wn hair, we culd never win the struggle t becme a ttally different kind f persn.
Instead f “becming unrecgnizable”, the New Year shuld be a time t cmmit t “radical dability” embracing(拥抱) the pleasure f an easily reachable gal. If yu find waking up at 5 a.m. difficult, make 7 a.m. yur initial gal and make prgress every day. 39 If 2025 is yur year fr getting fit, it prbably isn’t als the time t start tidying yur hme r learning a new language.
S let 2025 be the year when we finally stp trying t becme smene else. 40 Let’s start ding things in baby steps: ne message t a friend r ne wrkut. Nt many, but at least ne. Nt later, but right nw.

She put away her trepidatin, and the mther was visibly emtinal. I spent an hur with the girl and tk sme amazing phts. She was a beautiful little girl and deserved t have her picture taken. The experience was refreshing and made me realize that a simple kindness, especially if it’s nt yur wn, can make all the difference.
The little girl lked at the phts with a bright smile. She was surprised at her lking s pretty. She was nt aware that her face was nt at its best because f her illness. She was thrilled when I gave her sme phts. The mther and the girl left my studi with a big smile. Althugh I knew I didn’t get paid, I felt gd, because making a difference t the girl was mre imprtant than the mney. Since then, I’ve always tried t help thse in need and hped that my phts can tell their stries and bring mre attentin t them.
