As smene wh ften mans the 24-hur htline, I’m accustmed t early mrning calls reprting varius marine mammal strandings (搁浅). Even still, I dubt whether I culd have fully prepared fr this call. August 9 at 8:01 am was the first time my jaw physically drpped when manning the htline. The harbrmaster reprted 30 stranded dlphins in ne f the trickiest areas f Wellfleet. I immediately sent all wrkers we had and sent ut the call fr any additinal help we culd gather.
Our team gathered at ur Rescue Operatins Center, grabbing all the specialized equipment we pssibly culd. Our trained vlunteer respnders arrived n the scene shrtly after the initial reprt t give me updated infrmatin—45 dlphins in ttal, 43 f which were alive. With a stranding this large, it wasn’t pssible t pull all 43 animals frm the mud, get them t ur mbile veterinary clinic, and transprt them fr release at a mre favrable pen-cean lcatin befre the tide came in. The day was getting htter, and the animals were already suffering frm bth heat and sun expsure.
Upn getting n the scene, we had n time t react t the sheer chas that lay ahead. After a quick scan f the situatin — 45 animals widely distributed, nly a few staff members and several vlunteers — there wasn’t a secnd mre t wait. We began the hard prcess f getting as many animals as we culd int special slings(吊索), nt the cart, and ff the marsh as quickly as pssible. This was nt withut its wn challenges. The mud trapped and envelped ur feet, adding weight with each step, mst animals were highly fractius (易怒的) when apprached, and the heat became unbearable in dry suits. But nne f that was ging t stp us frm ding all we culd fr these animals.
We wrked tirelessly, prviding care fr the animals. When the tide fully came in, the dlphins started t swim n their wn with the rising tide.
24. Hw did the authr react t the call n the mrning f August 9?
A. He thught it was a jke.B. He gt shcked t the bne.
C. He was at a lss what t d.D. He called the vet urgently.
25. What des the authr want t cnvey in paragraph 2?
A. The team was well-equipped.
B. Rescuing dlphins faced much truble.
C. The climate f Wellfleet was difficult t tlerate.
D. Vlunteers were respnsible fr updating infrmatin.
26. What was a challenge t the rescuing team?
A. The tide was cming in very sn.
B. It was hard t find an pen-cean lcatin.
C. The vlunteers failed t cntact each ther.
D. There was much mud arund t walk thrugh.

Sme peple wrry that there’s t much technlgy in ur lives. And they may have a pint, given hw cuntless peple nw carry the Internet arund in their pcket and use it as a primary frm f cmmunicatin. It’s practically difficult t shun technlgy in ur wrld. There are cmputer micrchips in ur watches, ur cars, light switches, even ur pets! Where will it end?
Well, if certain peple have their way, it’ll g even further. We’ll have micrchips implanted int ur brains that can interact with the cmputers by thught alne. It may sund like smething frm the science fictin, but in many ways, things lk quite prmising. Thanks t the ability t send and receive infrmatin remtely via cmputers, micrchips and ther related devices have lng been put int brains.
Fr example, electrdes have been implanted in the brains f epilepsy（癫痫）patients t better recrd and even predict the abnrmal neurlgical activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulatin, thrugh implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regins, is an established treatment fr things like Parkinsn’s disease, and is even being lked int fr illnesses like depressin.
Hwever, it’s anther thing t place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical cncerns, nt least f which is what these chips will be made f. The inside f the brain is a mass f highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants wuld need t be dull enugh t nt upset the delicate prcesses by their presence, but als sensitive enugh t read and prcess the activity arund them. Current technlgy has made impressive prgress with this, but if it were t be rlled ut t millins f peple, we’d need t be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe.
Hw many peple will actually want t have technlgy literally put int their brain? A surprising 60 percent f Americans say they’d be kay with it, but that’s when it’s purely theretical. In reality, the pssibility f having strangers stick chips in yur brain is likely t prve unattractive, especially fr a ppulatin where millins get mad at fictinal micrchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even mre are frightened f dentists.
Ultimately, the technlgy f cmputer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away frm us.
28. What des the underlined wrd “shun” in paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. Develp.B. Avid.C. Change.D. Trust.
29. What des the authr want t tell us by the examples in paragraph 3?
A. The pssible treatment fr particular diseases.
B. The prcess f human-cmputer interactin.
C. The existing applicatin f micrchip implants.
D. The future f micrchips and devices alike.
30. Which f the fllwing is NOT the cncern abut the implanting technlgy?
A. The right materials used fr the chips.
B. The exact psitin in the brain fr the chips.
C. The chips’ precise sensitivity t functin in the brain.
D. The extensive use f the chips n all humans.
31. What might be the best title fr the text?
A. Cmputer-brain Interface: The Light f the Future
B. Innvatin is Necessary t Make Prgress
C. Where are We in the Medical Technlgy?
D. Mind-cntrlled Tech: Is It Pssible?
D
Is it true that ur brain alne is respnsible fr human cgnitin (认知)? What abut ur bdy? Is it pssible fr thught and behaviur t riginate frm smewhere ther than ur brain? Psychlgists wh study Embdied Cgnitin (EC) ask similar questins. The EC thery suggests ur bdy is als respnsible fr thinking r prblem-slving. Mre precisely, the mind shapes the bdy and the bdy shapes the mind in equal measure.
If yu think abut it fr a mment, it makes ttal sense. When yu smell smething gd r hear amusing sunds, certain emtins are awakened. Think abut hw newbrns use their senses t understand the wrld arund them. They dn’t have emtins s much as needs — they dn’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need fd. Even unbrn babies can feel their mthers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real wrld, they cry when they’re cld and then get hugged. That way, they start t assciate being warm with being lved.
Understandably, therists have been arguing fr years and still disagree n whether the brain is the nerve centre that perates the rest f the bdy. Older Western philsphers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC therizes that the brain and bdy are wrking tgether as an rganic supercmputer, prcessing everything and frming yur reactins.
Further studies have backed up the mind-bdy interactin. In ne experiment, test subjects were asked t judge peple after being handed a ht r a cld drink. They all made warm evaluatins when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than clness. And it wrks the ther way t. In anther study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in r “rejected” frm a grup task. Thse wh were included felt physically warmer.
Fr further prf, we can lk at the metaphrs that we use withut even thinking. A kind and sympathetic persn is frequently referred t as ne with a sft heart and smene wh is very strng and calm in difficult situatins is ften described as slid as a rck. And this kind f metaphrical use is cmmn acrss languages.
Nw that yu have the knwledge f mind-bdy interactin, why nt use it? If yu’re having a bad day, a warm cup f tea will give yu a flash f pleasure. If yu knw yu’re physically cld, warm up befre making any interpersnal decisins.
32. Accrding t the writer, what is the significance f EC?
A. It brings us clser t the truth in human cgnitin.
B. It ffers a clearer picture f the shape f human brain.
C. It reveals the majr rle f the mind in human cgnitin.
D. It facilitates ur understanding f the rigin f psychlgy.
33. Where des the newbrns’ understanding f their surrundings start frm?
A. Their persnal lks.B. Their mental needs.
C. Their inner emtins.D. Their physical feelings.
34. What des the authr intend t prve by citing the metaphrs in Paragraph 5?
A. Human speech is alive with metaphrs.
B. Human senses have effects n thinking.
C. Human language is shaped by visual images.
D. Human emtins are ften cmpared t natural materials.
35. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the last paragraph?
A. T deepen the readers’ understanding f EC.
B. T encurage the reader t put EC int practice.
C. T guide the reader nt the path t career success.
D. T share with the reader ways t release their emtins.

With climate change cntinuing t wrsen, ur situatin is beginning t feel increasingly serius. 36 Is it right? Maybe nt.
Techn-ptimism can be defined as a belief that future technlgies will slve all f ur current prblems. This definitin reinfrces (强化) the idea that there’s n reasn t panic r change ur current energy-intensive (能源集中型) lifestyle. All sciety needs t d is lk t green technlgy t wrk its magic. 37
One f the best examples f this ptimistic miscnceptin is the electric car. Despite being highly regarded as an ec-friendly way t get arund, electric cars are nt the end fr the future f transprt. Batteries in electric cars use chemical elements which we culd be seeing a shrtage f by mid-century. 38 Techn-ptimism has led many t believe that if everyne just switched t driving electric vehicles, we wuld be making incredible steps twards sustainability. Hwever, the reality is that the amunt f resurces and energy needed t prduce enugh electric vehicles fr everyne is nt even remtely sustainable.
39 Investing in public transprtatin and mving away frm individually wned vehicles. Prducing fewer cars. Imprving recycling practices f ld batteries. The slutins we seek shuld nt be rted in new technlgy, but be abut changing the way ur sciety functins.
Techn-ptimism puts t much emphasis n technlgy and nt enugh n what we can d right this minute. Unfrtunately, peple seem t like the picture that techn-ptimism paints. 40 Until we are ready t face the need fr a less cmplex life, we cannt make true prgress twards sustainability.
A. Peple used t fall int this trap.
B. S where shuld we lk fr answers instead?
C. The mdern wrld’s simple slutin is technlgy.
D. Mrever, they are mre energy-intensive t prduce.
E. Unfrtunately, this is an incredibly dangerus pinin t hld.
F. There is n dubt that we are heading twards a greener future.
G. Nevertheless, the truth is, we need a widespread change in ur lifestyles.

On a sunny afternn, my friend Ollie and I were enjying skatebarding at ur lcal park. Our md was light until Ollie sptted a pster fr the upcming Harvest Fair. The idea f attending it was thrilling, but the ticket price f $50 quickly iced ur enthusiasm.

写作示例:
Ollie apprached me, seemingly t say smething. As Mrs. Smith cntinued t gaze lngingly at the pster, he whispered, "Why dn't we give her the extra ticket?" Tuched by his thughtfulness and genersity, I ndded. When we presented her with the ticket, she was verjyed and lst fr wrds. My dad winked at Ollie, silently expressing gratitude fr his kindness. The fair was great, filled with laughter, music and the freshly baked pies. But the very best part was seeing Mrs. Smith's brad smile.
After the fair, I came up with a plan t make up fr Ollie ’s absence. My family decided t thrw a surprise "Family Harvest Fair" in his hnr. Besides party decratin, we prepared simple but fun games.

【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段第四句话“They dn’t have emtins s much as need — they dn’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need fd. Even unbrn babies can feel their mthers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect.

That way, they start t assciate being warm with being lved.(他们没有如同需要那么多的情感——他们不会感到悲伤，他们只是饿，需要食物。即使是未出生的婴儿也能感觉到母亲的心跳，这具有镇静作用。在现实世界中，他们冷了就哭，然后被拥抱。这样，他们开始将温暖与被爱联系起来)”可推知，新生儿对周围环境的理解依靠的是身体感觉。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出“技术乐观主义”试图用技术解决当前的气候问题，作者用电动汽车的例子来证明这种想法似乎是没用的。改变我们的社会运作方式，以及人们的生活方式才是解决问题的关键所在。
【36题详解】
根据上文“With climate change cntinuing t wrsen, ur situatin is beginning t feel increasingly serius.(随着气候变化的持续恶化，我们的情况开始变得越来越严重)”可知，气候问题持续恶化，人类的情况开始变得越来越严重。由此推知，人类可能会采取解决气候问题的办法。结合下文“Techn-ptimism can be defined as a belief that future technlgies will slve all f ur current prblems. This definitin reinfrces (强化) the idea that there’s n reasn t panic r change ur current energy-intensive (能源集中型) lifestyle. (当谈到确保我们未来的解决方案时，技术乐观主义是最大的误解之一。这个定义强化了一种观点，即没有理由恐慌或改变我们目前的能源密集型生活方式)”可知，人们试图依靠技术来解决气候问题。C项“现代世界的简单解决方案就是技术”符合题意。故选C。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Techn-ptimism can be defined as a belief that future technlgies will slve all f ur current prblems.

All sciety needs t d is lk t green technlgy t wrk its magic.(技术乐观主义可以定义为相信未来的技术将解决我们当前的所有问题。这个定义强化了一种观点，即没有理由恐慌或改变我们目前的能源密集型生活方式。社会所需要做的就是期待绿色科技发挥它的魔力)”可知，上文提到了“没有理由恐慌或改变我们当前的能源密集型生活方式”这种观点，由此推知，下文应对这种观点进行评价。E项“不幸的是，这是一个极其危险的观点”符合题意。故选E。
【38题详解】
根据上文“One f the best examples f this ptimistic miscnceptin is the electric car. Despite being highly regarded as an ec-friendly way t get arund, electric cars are nt the end fr the future f transprt. Batteries in electric cars use chemical elements which we culd be seeing a shrtage f by mid-century.(这种乐观误解的最好例子之一就是电动汽车。尽管电动汽车被认为是一种环保的出行方式，但它并不是未来交通工具的终结。电动汽车的电池使用的化学元素到本世纪中叶可能会短缺)”可知，上文提到了电动汽车的弊端。结合本段主要谈论“乐观误解”推知，空处应继续对电动汽车的弊端进行陈述。D项“此外，它们的生产更耗能”符合题意。故选D。
【39题详解】
根据下文“Investing in public transprtatin and mving away frm individually wned vehicles. Prducing fewer cars. Imprving recycling practices f ld batteries. The slutins we seek shuld nt be rted in new technlgy, but be abut changing the way ur sciety functins.(投资公共交通，远离个人拥有的车辆。生产更少的汽车，改善旧电池的回收利用做法。我们寻求的解决方案不应该植根于新技术，而应该改变我们社会的运作方式)”可知，作者认为我们应该改变社会的运作方式，这才是解决气候问题的办法。B项“那么，我们应该在哪里寻找答案呢？”符合题意，引出本段内容，下文是对该问题的回答。故选B。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Techn-ptimism puts t much emphasis n technlgy and nt enugh n what we can d right this minute. Unfrtunately, peple seem t like the picture that techn-ptimism paints.(技术乐观主义过于强调技术，而对我们现在能做事情却不够重视。不幸的是，人们似乎喜欢技术乐观主义所描绘的画面)”和下文“Until we are ready t face the need fr a less cmplex life, we cannt make true prgress twards sustainability.(除非我们准备好面对不那么复杂的生活的需要，否则我们无法在可持续发展方面取得真正的进展)”可知，人们似乎更喜欢依靠技术解决问题，当我们把技术视为当前的环保生活方式时，问题就开始了。由此可知，要解决气候问题，不能只依靠技术，关键是要从很大程度上改变我们的生活方式。G项“然而，事实是，我们需要广泛改变我们的生活方式”符合题意。故选G。
