      Jane Gdall: Mre Than a Scientist
      Nw mre than ever, we must recgnize that animals d matter. They are mre than a living
      ________ 42 t wilderness and unspiled beauty. They deserve mre ut f life than t be victims in
      ur failed effrts t cexist. Just as we appreciate individuality in peple, s t much we value it in
      ther animals.
      On Oct. 1, 2025, Jane Gdall passed away. Much f her amazing life is ________ 43 in the
      legacy she leaves behind. In Clrad, Gvernr Jared Plis immediately prclaimed Oct. 1, 2025,
      as Jane Gdall Day. Her ________ 44 will surely be everlasting. T share persnal reflectins n
      her life and legacy, we turn t tw f her lng-time cllabratrs: Marc, a wildlife filmmaker and
      prducer wh wrked with Jane fr ver 30 years, and Marln, a science writer and editr wh
      helped shape Jane’s later writings and glbal messaging.
      Marc: Jane's pineering research ________ 45 ur understanding f chimpanzees. In Nvember
      1960, she bserved David Greybeard making and using a tl by ________ 46 leaves frm a straw
      3
      stick t extract termites (白蚁). This grundbreaking bservatin was initially met with dubts until
      she prvided vide evidence. Nw we must redefine tl, redefine Man, r accept chimpanzees as
      humans.
      Jane als named the chimpanzees she bserved, fr which she was strngly criticized. “I was
      tld that naming animals is t ________ 47,” she recalled, “Individual differences in persnalities
      ________ 48 amunted t‘nise in the system.’” Large amunts f subsequent research have shwn
      hw wrng ur critics were.
      Marln: As a strng believer in the pwer f stries, I had lng lked up t Gdall as a(n)

      mments f ur lives is a vyage int vast and uncharted memries. Nt s fr Gdall, wh cuts
      thrugh the mist with ease, ________ 51 them tgether as if there had been n dead ends.
      III. Reading Cmprehensin
      Sectin A
      Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C
      and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
      The cnventinal prtrayal f scientific advancement as a straightfrward gathering f successes
      presents a fundamentally misleading picture. Authentic scientific prgress is rarely straight;
      ________ 52, it fllws a winding path filled with unexpected bstacles and definitive failures.
      Rather than representing mere blcks, these apparent setbacks frequently functin as imprtant
      ________ 53 that re-rient research tward mre prmising directins and deeper understanding.
      The discvery f csmic micrwave backgrund radiatin ffers a particularly instructive case
      study. When radi astrnmers Arn Penzias and Rbert Wilsn first detected persistent interference
      (干扰) in their measurements, they naturally ________ 54 this usual signal as evidence f equipment
      prblem. The signal cnsistently ________ 55 their attempts t cllect clean astrnmical data,
      prmpting an extensive investigatin int ptential technical surces. After systematically remving
      all thinkable surces cause, they faced an inescapable reality: the interference persisted despite their
      mst diligent effrts. ________ 56, this very persistence pushed them t cnsider mre extrardinary
      explanatins. What began as a technical ________ 57 ultimately turned int ne f the mst
      significant csmlgical discveries f the mdern era.
      This histrical episde illuminates a crucial principle f scientific methds: the genuine value f
      4
      an investigatin ften lies nt in cnfirming expected results, but in hw researchers respnd t
      differences between thery and ________ 58. When experimental data cnsistently cntradict
      theretical predictins, the mst innvative scientists perceive nt failure but pprtunity- an
      ________ 59 t reexamine fundamental assumptins and theretical framewrks. Such mments f
      cnflict frequently catalyze scientific breakthrughs, stimulating the develpment f mre
      cmprehensive theries.
      These insights carry prfund implicatins fr science ________ 60. Traditinal teaching
      appraches that emphasize predetermined utcmes and rapid success may accidentally hld back
      the develpment f authentic scientific ________ 61. A mre philsphically infrmed methdlgy
      wuld create learning envirnments that nt nly tlerate but actively ________ 62 the prductive
      failures that naturally ccur during genuine investigatin. By engaging thughtfully with unexpected
      results, students develp the methdical understanding and intellectual ________ 63 essential fr
      innvative research.
      Ultimately, recgnizing the indispensable rle f failure ________ 64 changes ur
      understanding f scientific prgress itself. The mst grundbreaking advances frequently emerge nt
      in spite f failures but because f the ________ 65 tensin they reveal. A sphisticated
      understanding f scientific methdlgy therefre requires us t regard failure nt as the end f
      inquiry, but as a(n) ________ 66 and generative dimensin f the scientific enterprise.
      52. A. instead B. therefre C. meanwhile D. besides
      53. A. guides B. cnclusins C. rewards D. theries
      54. A. predicted B. interpreted C. encuntered D. ignred
      55. A. imprved B. cnfirmed C. frustrated D. simplified
      56. A. Especially B. Furthermre C. Nevertheless D. Mrever
      57. A. success B. apprach C. failure D. achievement
      58. A. predictin B. bservatin C. intuitin D. imaginatin

      62. A. avid B. fear C. embrace D. dcument
      63. A. discipline B. flexibility C. stability D. certainty

      It was calculated fr all kinds f virtues and enjyments; that peace and plenty, temperance,
      mderatin, and health were the blessings attending it.
      He pressed me earnestly nt t plunge myself int miseries. T clse all, he tld me I had my
      elder brther fr an example, t whm he had used the same persuasins t keep him frm the wars,
      but culd nt win. He tld me if I did take this flish step, Gd wuld nt bless me.

      f ging abrad any mre, but t settle at hme accrding t my father's desire.
      6
      But alas!A few days wre it all ff. In a few weeks I reslved t run away. I tld my mther that
      my thughts were entirely bent upn seeing the wrld. I was nw eighteen. I begged her t persuade
      my father t let me g n ne vyage, prmising if I came back and did nt like it, I wuld g n

      What is ur ideal f a thrughly liberal educatin? Suppse it were certain that the life and
      frtune f every ne f us wuld depend upn winning r lsing a game f chess. Shuld we nt all
      cnsider it a primary duty t learn the game? We shuld laugh at anyne wh grew up nt knwing a
      pawn (兵) frm a knight.
      Yet, the life and happiness f every ne f us d depend upn ur knwing smething f the
      rules f a game infinitely mre difficult than chess. The chess-bard is the wrld, the pieces are the
      phenmena f the universe, the rules are the laws f Nature. The player n the ther side is hidden
      frm us. We knw that his play is always fair, just and patient. But we als knw, t ur cst, that he
      never verlks a mistake, r makes the smallest allwance fr ignrance. T the man wh plays
      well, the highest stakes are paid. And ne wh plays ill is checkmated (将死;输棋)-withut haste,
      but withut pity.
      What I mean by Educatin is learning the rules f this mighty game. It is the instructin f the
      intellect in the laws f Nature, and the fashining f the will t mve in harmny with thse laws.
      Fr me, educatin means neither mre nr less than this.
      In strictness, there is n such thing as an uneducated man. Suppse that an adult man culd be
      suddenly placed in the wrld, as Adam is said t have been. Hw lng wuld he be left uneducated?
      Nt five minutes. Nature wuld teach him thrugh the eye, the ear, and the tuch. Pain and pleasure
      9
      wuld tell him what t d and avid; and by slw degrees he wuld receive an educatin which, if
      narrw, wuld be thrugh, real, and adequate t his circumstances.
      The knwledge frm experience is valuable, but limited. This is where artificial educatin cmes
      in. Its bject is t make up fr natural educatin's defects, enabling the child t inherit the knwledge
      the race has acquired, stred in bks and traditins.
      And what is Liberal Educatin? It is an educatin which nt nly trains a man t avid the evils
      frm disbedience t Nature's laws but als enables him t secure the rewards which Nature scatters.
      It is an educatin which makes a man a right-thinking and right-acting being, in harmny with the
      universe.
      If we want t knw what a Liberal Educatin is, we must cnsider what a man is. Man is a
      cmplex being, cnsisting f bdy, mind, and spirit. Therefre, a Liberal Educatin shuld include
      physical, intellectual, and mral training. It aims t create a persn wh can use his bdy, mind, and
      spirit t the best advantage, making him a useful member f sciety.
      74. The authr intrduces the game f chess in the first tw paragraphs primarily t ________.
      A. illustrate the cmplexity and imprtance f understanding Nature's laws
      B. criticize the general public fr their neglect f strategic thinking in daily life
      C. emphasize the cmpetitive nature f human existence in the universe
      D. prpse that chess shuld be included as a cmpulsry curse in liberal educatin
      75. Accrding t the authr, what is the primary purpse f a“liberal educatin”?
      A. T integrate an individual's cmplete being int the fundamental rder f the universe.
      B. T achieve persnal advantage by strategically applying natural laws fr success.
      C. T accumulate theretical knwledge abut nature thrugh systematic study.
      D. T defeat nature's challenges thrugh superir understanding f its rule-based systems.
      76. What can be inferred frm the authr's view n the man placed in the wrld like Adam?
      A. His natural reasning pwer allws him t skip the slw prcess f experiential learning.
      B. His struggles highlight the fundamental necessity f scial and histrical knwledge.

      The Symbitic (共生的) City: Rethinking Future Urban Living
      The unprecedented scale and speed f 21st-century urbanizatin have placed immense pressure
      n glbal ecsystems and scial structures, wrsening issues such as resurce shrtage,
      envirnmental pllutin, and systemic inequality. In respnse, the city f the future cannt be
      satisfied with small upgrades r superficial technlgical fixes. It must underg a fundamental
      redefinitin f its frm and functin. ________ 78. This cncept, termed the Symbitic City,
      represents a shift beynd cnventinal sustainability ways f thinking, envisining an urban
      envirnment where human and natural systems are nt merely balanced, but actively enhance ne
      anther thrugh cntinuus interactin and mutual adaptatin.
      Central t this visin is a systematic restructuring f urban infrastructure, changing it frm a
      resurce-intensive burden int a frce that renews. Buildings, fr instance, shuld be reimagined nt
      as static (静 止 的 ) energy sinks but as dynamic cnnectins between man-made and natural
      envirnments. ________ 79. Water systems, t, must change frm simple“use and thrw away”
      mdels t circular water systems. This includes the integrated management f rainwater cllectin,
      recycled water fr nn-drinking uses, and getting nutrients back frm wastewater t supprt city
      farming-effectively clsing resurce lps at the neighbrhd and city scale.
      Yet technlgical and infrastructural innvatin alne is insufficient. This material
      transfrmatin must be accmpanied by a parallel shift in sci-ecnmic mdels and gvernance
      11
      structures. The digital layer f the“smart city,” ften criticized fr reinfrcing crprate cntrl r
      gvernment mnitring, culd instead be used t fster penness, civic participatin, and shared
      resurce gvernance. ________ 80 Such pen access t real-time data n hw a city uses resurces
      wuld let cmmunities wrk tgether t manage spread-ut energy systems, imprve shared
      transprt netwrks, and check n lcal envirnmental health-strengthening scial capital while
      reducing eclgical ftprints.
      Nevertheless, the transitin tward symbitic urbanism faces prfund bstacles. The scale f
      investment required is mnumental, and existing institutinal framewrks ften lack the
      interdisciplinary crdinatin and lng-term visin needed t implement such integrated planning.
      ________ 81 Truly strng and regenerative cities will emerge nt nly frm new technlgies r
      plicies, but frm a deeper evlutin in cllective values-a shift frm seeking dminin ver nature
      t recgnizing that we are part f bispheric systems and must shulder the respnsibility tward
      future generatins.

      The Flame, Nt the Vessel
      Were Scrates t enter a mdern classrm, he wuld behld students diligently writing dwn
      ntes and pursuing predetermined answers. After bserving this, the philspher wuld pse his
      defining questin:“What truly cnstitutes learning?”
      T the thinker (82) ________ methds wuld shape Western philsphy, educatin was never
      abut infrmatin accumulatin. He envisined it as“the kindling f a flame, nt the filling f a
      vessel.” In ur era f standardized testing, this 2,400-year-ld perspective remains nt merely
      relevant, but urgently necessary (83) ________ (defend).

      Knwledge flws ne way-frm teacher t student-with success measured by exam perfrmance.
      Scrates valued infrmatin but challenged this prcess as misunderstanding educatin's purpse.

      Literature becmes prfund when we inquire,“What des Atticus Finch's struggle reveal abut
      curage?” It becmes a mirrr fr self-examinatin. Mathematics becmes fascinating when students
      ask,“Why des the Pythagrean therem hld true?” This restres mathematics as discverable
      patterns, nt rules t memrize.
      Scrates' declaratin“I knw that I knw nthing” represents intellectual humility. This
      acknwledgement enables true learning. Students wh see their limits stay curius, (88) ________
      thse wh think they have all answers shut their minds. This humility demands curage: t challenge
      narratives, admit cnfusin, and revise beliefs. It als requires embracing the discmfrt f (89)
      ________ (challenge) assumptins. Like exercise strengthening muscles, this discmfrt signals
      intellectual grwth.
      Scrates was executed fr“crrupting the yuth” by teaching independent thinking. His legacy
      challenges us t turn educatin frm passive receptin t active investigatin. The ability t ask
      insightful questins represents educatin's (90) ________ (precius) ffering. True educatin
      prepares students fr life's cmplexities, cultivating thughtful human beings. The flame f critical
      inquiry, nce kindled, becmes self-sustaining-illuminating nt nly academic subjects but life (91)
