In the mid-20th century, maps f the wrld shwed cntinents surrunded by vast, featureless ceans. Beneath the waves, the cean flr was largely unknwn. That all changed thanks t the wrk f Marie Tharp, a pineering cartgrapher and gelgist.
In the 1940s, few wmen were accepted in science. Tharp, hwever, was determined t make her mark. She partnered with ceangrapher Bruce Heezen, wh cllected snar (声呐) data frm ships that crssed the Atlantic Ocean. The data was just a string f numbers and graphs — withut smene t translate it int a visual frmat, it was difficult t interpret. That was where Tharp came in. She began pltting thusands f data pints, a painstaking prcess that required a mix f mathematical skill and artistic intuitin.
In the prcess f her mapping, Tharp discvered the central valley f the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a place where the cean flr was pulling apart. This was exactly the kind f evidence that culd supprt the cntrversial (争议的) thery f cntinental drift, which was largely dismissed by the scientific cmmunity at the time.
Cnvincing the scientific cmmunity wuld prve difficult, since many gelgists had lng believed that the cean flr was flat and featureless. Tharp and Heezen turned t art t create visual representatins f the cean flr. This prduced stunning maps that brught Tharp’s findings t life in a way that n scientific paper culd. The beauty f these maps captured the imaginatins f scientists and the public alike. Tharp’s maps, and the evidence they prvided, became a crnerstne f the mdern understanding f gelgy. Her wrk prved that the cean flr was nt static (静态的) but a dynamic, changing landscape.
Fr many years, Tharp’s cntributins were vershadwed by her male clleagues — it was Bruce Heezen’s name that ften appeared n scientific papers. Tharp wrked behind the scenes, receiving little recgnitin fr her grundbreaking wrk.
Tday, satellite and snar technlgy enable us t map the cean flr with incredible precisin, but nne f this wuld have been pssible withut Tharp’s pineering effrts.
4. What underlying reasn mtivated Tharp’s cmmitment t science?
A. A request frm Heezen.B. A need t stre snar data.
C. A belief in cntinental drift.D. A desire t establish herself.
5. Why was Tharp’s discvery f the central valley significant?
A. It backed a then-dismissed thery.
B. It shwed snar data was unreliable.
C. It cnfirmed the cean flr was flat.
D. It questined a nce-ppular technlgy.
6. Hw did Tharp and Heezen make Tharp’s findings widely accepted?
A. By giving public lectures.
B. By visualizing data pints.
C. By cnsulting gelgy experts.
D. By publishing scientific papers.
7. Hw was Tharp’s wrk treated by her cntempraries?
A. It was credited t thers.
B. It was viewed as accidental.
C. It was briefly acknwledged.
D. It was ignred as lacking evidence.

Fr decades, scientists thught f the brain as the mst valuable and cnsequently mst clsely guarded part f the bdy. Lcked safely behind the bld-brain barrier, it was bradly free f the harm f viruses and the battles started by the immune system (免疫系统). Then, abut 20 years ag, sme researchers began t wnder: is the brain really s separated frm the bdy? The answer, accrding t a grwing bdy f evidence, is n.
The list f brain cnditins that have been assciated with changes elsewhere in the bdy is lng and grwing. Changes in the makeup f the micrrganisms in the digestive system have been linked t disrders such as Parkinsn’s disease. There is als a thery that infectin during pregnancy culd lead t brain diseases in babies.
The effect is tw-way. There is a lengthening list f symptms nt typically viewed as disrders f the nervus system, but the brain plays a large part in them. Fr example, the develpment f a fever is influenced by a ppulatin f nerve cells that cntrl bdy temperature and appetite. Evidence is munting that cancers use nerves t grw and spread.
The intercnnectin between the brain and bdy has prmising implicatins fr ur ability t bth understand and treat illnesses. If sme brain disrders start utside the brain, then perhaps treatments fr them culd als reach in frm utside. Treatments that take effect thrugh the digestive system, the heart r ther rgans, wuld be much easier and less risky than thse that must crss the bld-brain barrier.
It als wrks in the ppsite directin. Study shws mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulatin t a brain area invlved in psitive emtin and mtivatin. Activatin f the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems t cause immune changes that cntribute t it. Wrking ut hw this happens culd help t destry cancers, enhance respnses t vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, fr centuries, have nt been cnsidered as being psychlgically driven.
8. What d the researchers fcus n abut the brain?
A. Its prtecting system.B. Its expsure t diseases.
C. Its cntrlling functin.D. Its cnnectin t the bdy.
9. Hw des the authr supprt his idea in paragraph 2?
A. By explaining a thery.B. By prviding examples.
C. By making cmparisns.D. By presenting cause and effect.
10. Which best describes treatments that d nt crss the bld-brain barrier?
A. Cheaper.B. Mre specific.
C. Safer.D. Mre direct.
11. What des the study suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Brain health depends n immune changes.
B. Brain stimulatin leads t negative emtins.
C. The brain can help enhance psychlgical health.
D. The brain may be key t treating physical diseases.

When yu see smene absrbed in a highbrw nvel n the train r psing with a philsphical vlume n scial media, yu shuldn’t autmatically assume they are reading the bk.
It’s knwn as “perfrmative reading” as the “reader” wants “everyne t knw” they read, wrte Alaina Dempuls in The Guardian. They’re signalling they have the “taste and attentin span” t “pick up a physical bk”.
The phenmenn has its rts in 2021, when a bm in bk clubs led by celebrities alng with “BkTk”, the sectin f TikTk dedicated t prmting and discussing cmmercial fictin, turned favured bks int a “trend-driven accessry”, said Sarah Manavis in The New Statesman.
BkTk is seen as perfrmative, with “trendy bks” ging viral nt because f the “quality f the literature” but because it suggests an “increasingly fashinable, intellectual-lking style”. And when reading becmes a cmpetitin, with “cuntless users shwing ff” abut having read mre than 35 bks in a single mnth, suppsedly, quality takes a backseat t “demnstrating yurself t be a vracius ‘reader’.”
Scial psturing thrugh bks isn’t new. What is new is the “uniquely unaplgetic” way scial media “rubber-stamps” the idea f bks as “an accessry, rather than an art”. And there’s a danger it culd lead t publishers fcusing their effrts n bks that are “feed-friendly”.
But the incnvenient truth is that the virality f literature has led t an uptick in bk sales. In 2023, 669 millin physical bks were sld, the highest verall level ever recrded, alng with an increase f visits t UK libraries.
One f life’s “simplest pleasures” remains “falling int a stry” and “tuning the wrld ut”, withut “wrrying abut what smene’s ging t think f yu”, said Dempuls. Enjy the stry. Many peple are still ding exactly that, s rather than “finger-wagging” abut perfrmative reading, next time yu see smene with a bk at a cffee shp r the park, just leave them alne, because “this is nt fr yu”, they’re simply “enjying the mment”.
12. Why d sme peple engage in perfrmative reading?
A. T ppularize bk clubs.
B. T prmte reading habits.
C. T imprve their scial image.
D. T stress the imprtance f literature.
13. What des the underlined wrd “vracius” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Slw.B. Eager.C. Selective.D. Occasinal.
14. What risk des turning bks int accessries create?
A. Online reading culd take ver.
B. Physical bk sales will decline.
C. Bk clubs may becme exclusive.
D. Meaningful cntent might get sidelined.
15. Accrding t Dempuls, thse wh read in public shuld be .
A. urged t read privately
B. guided t select better materials
C. discuraged frm psting nline
D. respected withut direct interventin

Fr weeks, the small basket in Tm’s rm had been filling up. One by ne, dirty scks landed there after sccer practice r schl. Tm never thught abut them. Like magic, they always came back t his drawer, clean and neat. His mm did this fr him.
One evening, Tm saw his mther lking at the basket. She lked very tired after wrk. “Tm,” she said in a calm but serius vice, “I can’t d this fr yu anymre.” Tm felt a little angry. They’re just scks, he thught. He said “Okay,” but did nthing.
The basket became full. It lked like a small muntain. A bad smell started t cme frm it. Tm wre his last clean pairs, ignring the prblem. His mther didn’t help. She lked at the basket sadly, but said nthing.
One mrning, Tm lked fr a clean pair f scks. There were nne. He searched everywhere, but fund nthing. He lked at the empty drawer, then at the big pile f dirty scks. He started t wrry. What can I d? I can’t g t schl withut scks. His face turned red with shame.
Just then, his mther came in. She wasn’t angry. She held a clean, empty basin. “N mre magic, Tm,” she said gently. “But I can teach yu hw t d it yurself.”
Para1: Tm fllwed his mther t the bathrm, feeling bth curius and a little unwilling.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para2: As he hung the last clean, wet sck n the clthesline, a sense f achievement washed ver him.
