Cats may seem slid, but they’re actually smewhat liquid. Inspired by phts f cats puring themselves int vases and fitting int narrw penings, bilgist Péter Pngrácz has tested dzens f cats t see when they act mre like liquids r slids.
Cats fluidly (流畅地) mve thrugh tall and narrw places but hesitate when they apprach uncmfrtably shrt hles, Pngrácz reprts in the Oct.18 iScience. The finding suggests that cats are aware f their wn bdy size and may frm mental images f themselves.
Because cats prefer t live alne, they are difficult t test in the lab. S Pngrácz brught the lab t the cats. With help frm clleagues, he built a mvable lab that they set up in 29hmes.
In each hme, the team attached tw cardbard panels t a drframe: ne with five rectangular (矩形的) hles f the same height but decreasing width and anther with five hles f the same width but decreasing height. An wner std n ne side f the panel while the cat and the experimenter std n the ther. Fr each trial, the cat had t squeeze (挤过) frm the experimenter’s side t the wner’s side thrugh the hles while being filmed.
Thirty ut f 38 cats finished the experiment. When faced with hles f varying height, 22 cats hesitated t g thrugh the shrtest. When the hles varied in width, nly eight cats paused befre appraching the narrwest hle. Mst cats squeezed thrugh slim penings withut hesitating.
Hesitatin may be a self-preservatin methd, Pngrácz says. If a cat frces itself thrugh a hle withut being able t see what’s n the ther side, the cat may be expsed t ptential threats. That sme cats paused in the safety f their hmes suggests that they als rely n their bdy size t plan their apprach.
24.What makes it difficult t test the cats in the lab?
A. Their size.B. Their flexibility.
C. Their height.D. Their character.
25.What des paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A. Results f the experiment.B. Subjects f the experiment.
C. Methds f the experiment.D. Principles f the experiment.
26.Why did sme cats hesitate even befre hles leading t their hmes?
A. They failed t figure ut their bdy size.
B. They wrried abut getting stuck in the hle.
C. They hated being handled by the experimenter.
D. They were afraid f the danger n the ther side.
27.What is the best title f the passage?
A. One scientist puts cats’ liquid nature t test
B. Slid r liquid, that is ut f the questin
C. Cats act mre like liquids when in danger
D. Hesitatin keeps cats safe frm danger

Have yu ever wndered why creative individuals seem t spt things that ther miss? whether it’s an inventr wh finds an innvative slutin t a familiar prblem r an artist wh reinterprets a landscape in a fresh way, many creative peple have a special ability t find significance even in rdinary things.
Think abut Isaac Newtn’s famus insight int gravity. Accrding t the stry, Newtn saw an apple fall frm a tree ― smething mst peple might view as unimprtant. Yet, in this instance, he saw the apple’s fall as significant, causing him t think abut it mre deeply. Entertaining the ptential imprtance f this seemingly irrelevant ccurrence led t a breakthrugh cnnectin: that the same frce causing the apple t fall als influences celestial bdies like the Mn.
In this example, the creative individual’s brain flags unusual r ‘irrelevant’ infrmatin as significant, stimulating them t explre it further. This explratin allws them t cnsider remte ideas and assciatins that thers verlk, increasing the pssibility f a creative insight. A similar prcess likely unflds in artistic cntexts, such as when a painter, musician r filmmaker sees a seemingly irrelevant detail as meaningful. Fr instance, an artist may find themselvescaptivated by the shadw cast by an bject, finding it mre interesting than the bject itself. This might inspire a series f wrks explring the hidden beauty f shadws.
The uniqueness f creative individuals lies in their ability t perceive and priritise infrmatin in distinctive ways, welcming the uncnventinal and unexpected, which helps them think utside the bx and cme up with riginal ideas.
28.Why des the authr mentin Newtn’s stry in the secnd paragraph?
A. T entertain the readers.B. T suspend disbelief.
C. T supprt a viewpint.D. T explain a thery.
29.What des the underlined wrd “captivated” in the third paragraph prbably mean?
A. Tricked.B. Misled.C. Attracted.D. Withdrawn.
30.What is key t bsting creativity accrding t the passage?
A. Remving irrelevant infrmatin.
B. Perceiving what ther peple ignre.
C. Giving pririty t unimprtant details.
D. Sptting the mst bvius infrmatin.
31.What can we infer frm the passage?
A. What is uncnventinal and unexpected guarantees riginal ideas
B. Ordinary peple tend t verlk relevant and imprtant infrmatin.
C. What seems irrelevant smetimes is likely t bring abut creative insight
D. Creative individuals are brn with the ability t spt significance in things.
D
Memes (模因) didn’t start with the internet. Sme linguists argue that humans have used memes t cmmunicate fr centuries. Memes are widely knwn as channels fr cultural cnversatins and as an pprtunity t participate in Internet trends.
The wrd “meme” has been used in the New Yrk Times Crsswrd 60 times since the clumn started in the 1940s. Althugh it’s difficult t identify the first meme ever, the British evlutinary bilgist Richard Dawkins is credited with cining the term in his 1976 bk, “The Selfsh Gene.” In his riginal cnceptin, a “meme” was smewhat similar t a “phneme,” the smallest unit f sund in speech.
“I wuld explain the cncept f a meme ― a self-replicating (复制) piece f infrmatin ― by asking smene abut an inside jke they had with friends r an advertising jingle (短曲) that’s been stuck in their head fr 20 years,” said Kirby Cnrd, a prfessr f linguistics at Swarthmre Cllege. “That piece f infrmatin, the jke r the jingle, self-replicates because we humans like t share and repeat stuff.”
Memes are shareable by nature. In a wrld where yu are cnstantly fed nline news, the meme frmat catches yur eye, and mst f them can be read and understd within secnds. The pwer f a meme lies in its transmissibility (传递性) and unique talent fr being crss-cultural. Creating and sharing memes bsts a sense f cmmunity nline and brings peple tgether thrugh humr.
Meme culture is cnstantly develping, and the future f memes is unpredictable, but sme f the internet’s mst ppular meme creatrs have thughts n where it might be headed. Mr Price, f Memes.cm, fr example, predicted that in five years ― r sner ― every cultural mment and every news stry will have an accmpanying meme, and that meme will be a large part f the mainstream cnversatin abut that event. “Memes n the internet tk what is already naturally ccurring in the way that we cmmunicate and supercharged it by making it glbal and simple,” he said.
What can I say? The girls that get it, get it and the girls that dn’t, dn’t.
32.What can we learn abut “meme” accrding t the first tw paragraphs?
A. It nly sunds like the wrd “gene”.
B. It made its first appearance in the 1940s
C. It is the smallest sund unit in speech.
D. It was a term first intrduced by Mr. Dawkins.
33.What des Prfessr Cnrd think f memes?
A. They allw fr cultural diversity nline.
B. They spread humr and plitical messages.
C. They make advertising shareable and readable.
D. They are frequently shared and repeated by humans.
34.What is Mr. Price’s attitude twards the future f memes?
A. Unclear.B. Optimistic.C. Negative.D. Objective.
35.Hw d yu understand the last paragraph?
A. The target reader f the article are girls
B. It implies a certain famus meme stry.
C. The authr has dubts abut the essay.
D. It has nthing t d with this article.

Building habits f grup vulnerability(脫弱)is like building a muscle. It takes time repetitin, and the willingness t feel pain in rder t achieve gains. 36 With that in mind, here are a few wrkut ideas, fr bth individuals and grups.
Make sure the leader is vulnerable first and ften: As we’ve seen, grup cperatin is created by small, frequently repeated mments f vulnerability. 37
I saw a vivid example when I watched Danny Meyer run ne f his mrning meetings with his staff, Meyer is the funder f Unin Square Cafe, Shake Shack, Gramercy Tavern, and a number f ther restaurants that tgether are wrth mre than a billin dllars. 38 The staff meeting began with the grup watching a vide f Meyer's speech. Then the lights went up and Meyer spke.
“Can yu see my leg shaking?” he asked the grup.” 39 I’ve given a lt f speeches, but the TED peple wanted smething mre, smething deeper and thughtful. S I slept abut three hurs the night befre, which is why I have thse bags under my eyes. We had a terrible rehearsal (排练), and I kept messing up the PwerPint. S it was almst a cmplete terrible shw. Except that I’m lucky enugh t have sme abslutely brilliant help.” He paused and pinted. “Thanks, Chip and Haley. They made the whle thing wrk. They wrte great stuff, gave me great advice, and kept me tgether,” Everyne lked at Chip and Haley and gave a shrt rund f applause while Meyer lked n apprvingly.
Meyer delivered the message was scared with steadiness, cnfidence, and cmfrt that underlined the deeper message: It’s safe t tell the truth here. 40
A．I was s nervu shaking like a leaf.
B．His vulnerability isn’t weakness; it’s his strength.
C．Danny Meyer is a restaurant funder frm St. Luis, Missuri.
D．The night befre my visit, he had delivered his first-ever TED Talk.
E．And as with building muscle, the first key is t apprach the prcess with a plan.

G．Of these, nne carries mre pwer than the mment when a leader signals vulnerability.

57.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My birth was a little mre dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the wrld. Within minutes f cming ut, dctrs gave my parents the difficult news: I was brn missing my left hand.
Indeed, that annuncement f my limb difference might have been a disaster if it hadn’t been fr what happened next. I’m tld that a nurse placed me m my mther’s arms and instructed: “Yu will take her hme. Yu will lve her. yu will raise her like yu wuld any child. Yu will treat her as nrmal” My parents tk that instructin seriusly, I played sprt, acted in theatre, excelled in schl, participated in student gvernment and had playdates. while I did set sme stares and ‘plite’ questins abut my disability, I am lucky because I wasn’t made fun f fr my limb difference.
As kids d, I learned t adapt. One f earliest memries is my father trying t teach me t tie my shes. I gently pushed him ut f the way because his tw=handed methd wuldn’t wrk fr me, and I figured ut a way t d it with ne hand. Nt every challenge was that simple, hwever. Because my parents were trying s hard t make me feel ‘nrmal’, that als meant I didn’t really have space t talk abut my limb difference ― and it was different. N matter hw hard we tried, ther kids had tw hands and I had nly ne.
The fact that I was different hit me hard my first day f high schl. I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-cnscius. I remember getting n the bus and ne f the ther kids stared just a little t lng at my left arm. The staring upset me in a way it never had befre, and I felt a sudden urge t hide my hand, s I immediately slipped it int my pcket.
