If yu have ever driven cast t cast acrss the United States, chances are that yu have passed beneath the flight f a fearless sngbird, the cliff swallw (崖燕). Unlike mst wildlife that retreat frm human ftprint, the cliff swallw has survived alngside it. Originally a bird f the western muntains, it has, ver the past century, clnized the Great Plains, building its mud nests beneath bridges — wnders f natural engineering like ur wn.
Fr nearly frty years, researcher Charles Brwn has cnducted annual surveys f hundreds f these nesting clnies in Nebraska, seeking t understand the dynamics f swallw sciety. He has fund that in western Nebraska, mst cliff swallws live within a stne’s thrw f a rad.
This chice f habitat is, f curse, exceptinally dangerus. When Brwn began studying swallws in the 1980s, he ften picked up dead swallws n the rads. In 2012, hwever, Brwn suddenly fund, thugh, there was virtually n radkill t be fund. He’d cllected twenty dead birds in 1984, when the prject began, and twenty mre in 1985 and 1986. Then the trend line went dwnward: fifteen in 1989, thirteen in 1991, eight in 2002. By 2011 it had drpped t fur. Brwn thught: smehw swallws had becme harder t kill.
By measuring the birds’ wings, he saw that the swallws killed by cars usually had lnger wings than the nes he caught alive. Brwn knew what this meant: The traffic was weeding clumsier, lng-winged swallws frm the ppulatin and favring the quicker, shrt-winged nes — Darwinian selectin in actin.
“Lng ag,” Brwn said, “cliff swallws lived mstly apart frm humans. Nw, they are s much a part f ur wrld that ur rads and bridges have changed their very genes.” The cliff swallws became rare winners in a wrld f cncrete and steel. But this success came with a cst — the lss f the lng-winged swallws and a permanent change t the birds’ nature. They had been shaped, frever, by the rad.
4. What des the underlined part “retreat frm” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Avids.B. Expands.C. Erases.D. Reduces.
5. Hw is paragraph 3 mainly develped?
A. By prviding data.B. By extending a definitin.
C. By giving examples.D. By making a classificatin.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly talking abut?
A. Backgrunds f a study.B. Reasns fr a phenmenn.
C. Theries f natural selectin.D. Assumptins abut an experiment.
7. What did cliff swallws’ survival cst them?
A. Their genes became abnrmal.
B. Their ppulatin declined sharply.
C. They were edged ut f Great Plains.
D. Lng-winged swallws were weeded ut.

While we race int a future where we utsurce mst f ur prblem-slving t artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is nt super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting t much trust in Big Tech and nt enugh trust in the pwer f ur wn minds.
A philsphy f artful thinking is a gd way t avid this. T think artfully means t slve prblems using nt just ur brains, but als ur hands, eyes, and ears, alng with ur emtins. This apprach taps int the cgnitive (认知的) resurces that are spread thrughut ur bdies but ften g unused.
Changing hw we think is hard wrk. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful f hw we think with ur bdy, hw we use ur limbs (四肢), rgans, and emtins t make sense f the wrld. Be mindful f all the different messages yur bdy is sending yu as well as the different rles and functins yur bdily actins can play. Fr example, gesturing (做手势) in cnversatins is nt just cmmunicative. These mvements ften help the speaker t smth ut their thught prcess and assist in getting the wrds ut.
Tday, Big Tech is pushing a message f artificial-intelligence craziness and fear. What makes yu stuck in it? It’s seeing the same things wherever yu lk. Big Tech gives yu screens, hping that yur attentin will always be attracted by their devices. If yu want t find mre freedm in this AI-filled wrld, imprve yur ability t mindfully shift yur attentin between different bjects r levels f fcus. Remember everything is brn f a chice.
Artful thinking demands effrtful mindfulness t ensure that what we d, what we hpe t achieve by using these technlgical tls, will nt weaken ur humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each f us has t train t be an artist.”
8. What can we learn abut artful thinking?
A. It simplifies prblem-slving.
B. It fcuses n develping ur brains.
C. It prevents us frm ver-relying n AI.
D. It helps prmte high-tech machinery.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. Benefits f artful intelligence.B. Mind-bdy awareness in thinking.
C. Significance f being mindful.D. Scial interactin thrugh mvements.
10. What des the authr suggest we d in the AI-filled wrld?
A. Enhance the flexibility f attentin.B. Adapt t the rise f AI.
C. Avid the interruptins frm Big Tech.D. Imprve the levels f fcus.
11. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Artful Thinking Advances Big Tech
B. T Much Trust in AI Harms Our Minds
C. Physical Actins Better Cgnitive Functins
D. Mindfulness Keeps Us Human in the Age f AI

Diets cme and diets g. One f the mst ppular tday is “intermittent fasting”, which limits ne’ s fd intake t certain time windws. One ppular variant, the “5-2 diet”, requires eating either very small amunts, r nthing at all, n tw days a week, but allws nrmal eating n the ther five.
As a weight-lss strategy, intermittent fasting is simple — n calrie cunting r majr dietary changes. Limiting the restrictins t a cuple f days a week, r several hurs a day als requires less willpwer, which might make it easier t stick with.
Nichla Ludlam-Raine, a dietitian and spkeswman fr the British Dietetic Assciatin, ntes that intermittent fasting seems t wrk rughly as well fr weight lss as traditinal calrie-cunting des. Beynd weight management, animal studies suggest fasting may extend lifespan by up t 40%, slw aging, and reduce cancer risk.
Exactly hw it des all that is nt entirely clear. One imprtant factr seems t be autphagy (细胞自噬), the prcess by which cells break dwn and recycle parts f themselves. The hpe is that intermittent fasting might have a similar respnse in humans, since we share these bilgical respnses with ther animals. But running definitive human trials f the srt dne n lab animals is impssible. “When we say ‘calrie restrictin’ we mean nearly starving[the animals],” says Adam Cllins, a nutritin researcher at the University f Surrey.
Current research n intermittent fasting relies n limited, shrt-term studies using mderate bimarkers like insulin (胰岛素)/ chlesterl (胆固醇) levels. Their results are mixed. A review paper published in April 2024 lked at 23 ther studies and cncluded that intermittent fasting was slightly better than rdinary dieting fr verweight peple when it came t imprving levels f chlesterl and insulin. A similar article, published in January, fund n meaningful difference fr either weight lss r cardivascular (心血管的) health.
There are als risks. A study in mice published in Nature in Octber 2024 fund that severe fasting (where calries were cut by 40%) had dwnsides, including muscle mass lss and, pssibly, weakened immune systems. Mderatin, t, shuld be taken in mderatin.
12. Which f the fllwing is practicing intermittent fasting?
A. An athlete strictly cntrlling fat intake as the cach requires.
B. A TV hst weighing all fd t cunt calries befre eating.
C. An ffice wrker trying t lse weight by eating nly 2 meals every day.
D. A clerk n regular meals but skipping meals n Mndays and Thursdays.
13. What can be inferred frm paragraph 4?
A. Fasting affects humans and animals in the same way.
B. Calrie restrictin fr animals is milder than fr humans.
C. Human trials like animal nes fr intermittent fasting are n-gs.
D. Autphagy plays a definite rle in explaining the benefits f fasting.
14. What is the authr’s attitude twards intermittent fasting?
A. Enthusiastic.B. Subjective.C. Favrable.D. Impartial.
15. Which is the best title fr the passage?
A. The Secrets f Fasting: A Scientific Warning
B. Intermittent Fasting: A Ppular but Mysterius Diet
C. Calrie Cunting vs. Fasting: Which Wrks Better?
D. Frm Animal t Human: The Science Behind Fasting
