Last year, I tk my first trip t Sheffield, where my new friend Esme lived. Frm the mment we stepped ff the train, strangers spke t us — making small talk with an penness and warmth I hadn’t expected. Then a cuple apprached us, asking if we culd witness their wedding. They explained that they were suppsed t have a lw-key wedding, but had missed their first appintment at the register ffice because f delayed trains. They had been able t reschedule, but had n witnesses fr the ceremny. Desperately, they asked us if we wuld like t step in.
On hearing this, the part f me raised n suspicin awakened. But anther part that leans int trust and curisity tld me t say yes. I was raised t apprach strangers with cautin. My parents drilled in me the idea that trust had t be earned; they had seen the risks that cme with being vulnerable (脆弱的) in a new envirnment. Being watchful f the unfamiliar was their way f ensuring we stayed safe. As I gt lder, their anxieties became my wn. Yet there was smething charming abut the cuple’s sincerity, s we agreed.
We arrived at the register ffice with secnds t spare. It was just the six f us: tw lvers, tw friends and tw registrars — pairs cnnected in different ways, yet all sharing in the quiet magic f the mment. The ceremny was quick and tuching, and I teared up n several ccasins. The simplicity f it felt meaningful. T me, their wedding symblized an act f bravery. Trusting cmplete strangers t witness ne f the mst significant mments f their lives seemed n small challenge — they had n guarantees, just a belief in human kindness, and smehw, that faith had been rewarded.
Lking back, I can’t help but think f hw my parents might have reacted if I’d tld them I was ging t be witnessing a cuple’s wedding with smene I had nly recently met. But, ever since, I have made a cnscius effrt t acknwledge life’s uncertainties and accept them where pssible. It’s easy t live life with a prtective layer, but it can lead t lneliness. Mments f cnnectin are precius, and smetimes it’s wrth taking a risk.
24. Why did the cuple ask fr help?
A. Because they missed the train.
B. Because they needed witnesses.
C. Because they tried t start small talk.
D. Because they wanted t share their jy.
25. The authr hesitated at first due t ______.
A. unsafe envirnmentB. a lack f curisity
C. inbrn distrustD. a planted belief
26. What can we learn frm the authr’s experience?
A. Many hands make light wrk.
B. One gd turn deserves anther.
C. A jy shared can be a jy dubled.
D. A leap f faith may unlck delights.

Have yu ever felt as thugh the temperatures yur lcal weather app reprted failed t capture hw it felt utside? Well, yu were right. As heat waves becme mre intense and mre frequent, we need t change the way we think abut utdr temperatures. What matters is nt hw ht the air is but hw ht the weather is t a human bdy. Fr that, we need “wet-bulb glbe temperature”.
Wet-bulb temperature, which athletic rganizatins, the military and regulatrs have used fr decades, cmes frm a device with three thermmeters t better capture hw heat stresses the bdy The first is a basic thermmeter, which measures the air temperature. The secnd is a thermmeter inside a black ball, which captures the heat ur bdies absrb frm direct sunlight. The third is a thermmeter cvered in a wet clth, mimicking ur bdy’s ability t cl itself with sweat and accunting fr factrs such as humidity (湿度) and air mvement. The three readings are cmbined using a weighting system t prduce the wet-bulb temperature.
Wet-bulb temperature might sund like the “heat index” — that is, when yur lcal weatherpersn says, “It’s 90 degrees, but it’s ging t feel like 98 because f humidity” — and there are similarities. But there are als critical differences.
The heat index assumes yu’re in the shade and resting, but being in direct sunlight can add 15 degrees t the heat index. One way t understand the value f using wet temperatures is t lk at maps cmparing them with the mre familiar “dry” temperatures. Take Fresn, Calif., which is frecast-t reach 102 degrees. But humidity is lw, s the crrespnding wet-bulb temperature is 80. New Yrk City, fr cmparisn, is frecast t be 98, but humidity will be high, putting the wet-bulb temperature at 88 — and making cnditins even mre dangerus than in Fresn.
Dn’t get me wrng. I just want t stress that we cannt ignre the even mre dangerus weather happening elsewhere that might be less bvius. Of curse, it will take time fr the public t becme familiar with wet-bulb temperatures. The dwnside is that, because they are generally lwer than dry temperatures r the heat index, peple culd misinterpret them. The slutin is t educate peple abut why they’re necessary.
Plicymakers have strategies t prtect against extreme heat. Fr example, Prtland, Ore, has begun distributing free air cnditiners. Simple infrastructure enhancements such as white rfs can reflect the sun’s heat and incming slar radiatin. And planting mre trees adjacent t buildings helps reduce temperatures and heat deaths.
But these measures matter nly if peple and cmpanies are aware there’s an issue, which means using the right data. The gal shuld be t help peple experiencing extreme heat t prtect themselves. We have the tls t measure this crrectly; we just need t use them.
27. What is Paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The develpment f high-tech thermmeters.
B. The measurement f wet-bulb temperature.
C. The standard f temperature classificatin.
D. The applicatin f a weighting system.
28. It is implied in this passage that ______.
A. dry temperatures can be misleading
B. wet temperature is higher than heat index
C. intense heat paired with lw humidity can be risky
D. ptential dangers f extreme heat shuld be stressed
29. As fr current heat-fighting strategies, the authr thinks ______.
A. they may fail t deliver
B. they shuld be mnitred
C. they ught t be diversified
D. they can raise heat awareness
30. What is the purpse f the passage?
A. T illustrate a cnceptB. T make a cmparisn.
C T prpse a practice.D. T present a phenmenn.

Fr almst tw centuries, newspapers have been n a jurney int the mass market which gave them scale, reputatin and prfit but which has nw reached its end. They mstly abandned dependence n subscriptins and instead sld belw prductin cst as a way t attract readers t sell t advertisers.
Since the Internet tk ff, the print media’s advertising-supprted business mdel has suffered. In the past 20 years, newspapers’ ad prfits have fallen by abut 80%, while circulatin has rughly fallen by half. Thugh nline traffic has risen, prfit frm digital advertising has failed t ffset (抵消) the prfit draining ut f print. “Platfrms have becme the new kings f the media landscape,” says the Cmpetitin and Markets Authrity, a regulatr.
This pwer shift has led newspapers in many cuntries t turn t authrities fr help. Partly because they have, by their very nature, a lud vice, they have generated sympathy. Hw much they deserve it is anther matter.
The wrld is filled with businesses trn apart by the digital revlutin withut anyne rushing t the rescue. Why are newspapers different? One argument is that a thriving press supprts grass-rts jurnalism, which, thugh ften lss-making, supprts fairness and equality. That is reasnable. Yet it is mixed with ther mtivatins, such as the desire t chke the tech giants. The result is a range f interventins aimed at putting the pressure n big tech.
Mindful f the utcry, big tech is ffering a handut, prmising $1bn ver three years t newspapers t prvide news cntent fr its site. Sme publishers saw it as an unstated admissin that big tech shuld pay fr news.
If anything, the gratitude fr big tech’s genersity shws hw desperate newspapers are fr payment f any kind. Mre t the pint, it will nt change the underlying ecnmics f the glbal newspaper industry. That is because the ad-funded business mdel was living n fumes even befre the Internet ate the wrld this century. Data shw that newspapers have been lsing share f ad dllars t TV since the 1950s — lng befre the web. Circulatin has als fallen relative t ppulatin, suggesting that prfits were supprted by ecnmic and ppulatin grwth, nt because the industry was prducing a mre ppular prduct.
Claims that the tech giants are rbbing newspapers fr prfit sund far-fetched, t. The real failure is that papers have lst cntrl f distributin t platfrms, making it harder t mnetise the traffic. This is a mistake sme cntent industries, such as vide-streaming and music, have avided. Mrever, sme f the advertising dllars made by big tech came frm bringing new firms int the market, rather than taking nline advertisers frm newspapers.
S ignre the cmplaining f ld-media cmpanies in distress and lk instead at hw sme newspapers have already adapted t the digital invasin. Als sme digital publicatins with a newswrthy fcus are thriving. The questin f wh pays fr public-interest jurnalism remains unanswered. But few think it ught t be tech giants. That wuld “undermine the principles f an independent press”.
31. Why des the authr cite the statistics in Paragraph 2?
A. T prve the decline f print media.
B. T emphasize the ppularity f platfrms.
C. T indicate the imprtance f digital advertising.
D. T demnstrate the incnsistency in subscriptins.
32. The underlined phrase “was living n fumes” in Paragraph 6 prbably means ______.
A. was taking ffB. was mving frward
C. was falling apartD. was struggling alng
33. Which f the fllwing may the authr agree with?
A. The platfrm shuld supprt grass-rts jurnalism.
B. The ld media shuld prduce marketable prducts.
C. New nline advertisers shuld be intrduced.
D. Effective interventins shuld be made.
34. Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Where is the Digital Age leading the press?
B. Are nline platfrms really a way ut?
C. Hw the Internet impacts ld media?
D. Shuld big tech save newspapers?

After seeing nline advertising fr “Willy’s Cbclate Experience”, peple paid up t £80 each t attend. But it wasn’t as prmised: instead f wndrus creatins and an abundance f chclate, families arrived at a mstly abandned warehuse featuring a sad-lking castle. Later it emerged that the marketing materials were prduced by artificial intelligence. Misleading ads are just ne example f a cmmn prblem in ur digitalised wrld. Yet even as deceptin (欺骗) grws mre cmplicated, cuntermeasures are being develped.
There is an arms race ging n in the digital wrld. ____35____ Understanding that evlutinary cnflict can help us beat thse wh aim t lie t us. Disinfrmatin certainly predates the existence f humans. Cancer cells, fr example, trick the immune system int treating them as a nrmal part f the bdy, causing white bld cells useless against them.
____36____ Cucks lay their eggs in the nests f ther birds The fster parents are then deceived int raising the yung f thers at the expense f their wn. Mre cmplex are cases where wild tufted capuchin mnkeys may scream as thugh a predatr (捕食者) is nearby t trick their fellw primates int running away frm fd. ____37____
This links t the Red Queen hypthesis, which refers t a case where tw rganisms cmpete t utsmart each ther. ____38____ Cucks cmpete with hst birds. Primates cmpete with each ther. In each cnflict, a new strategy by ne party frces the ther t adapt — r face eliminatin in the cld game f natural selectin.
Disinfrmatin tday is a mre cmplex versin f the false mnkey screams. The gd news is that we knw enugh abut evlutinary thinking t predict which steps bad actrs will take next. ____39____ We have nvel ways t trick it int evlving a weakness that we then take advantage f, a prcess called “evlutinary trapping”. Similarly, we knw smene will try t utfx the tls being develped t cunter deepfakes. We can predict what the next frm f deepfake will lk like, then prevent it.
A Bdies cmpete with cancers.
B We d this already with cancer.
C. They then take the fd fr themselves.
D. They becme mre intelligent with each trick.
E. We see disinfrmatin strategies amng animals, t.

I started running cmpetitively almst as sn as I culd walk. I was three years ld when I jined in my first fficial race. My mm and bth f my brthers were runners, s the sprt was built int my life frm the beginning. When I was yung, I enjyed the freedm, jy, and sense f pwer running gave me. This pure, cncentrated lve f the sprt gave me wings that carried me thrugh even the tughest practices and races.
Hwever, as I gt lder, pressure began t build up. I was winning, but I lst sight f my real purpse as a runner: t have fun. I even began t fear hard wrkuts, knwing I wuld be disappinted if I didn’t achieve my gals. Befre the final seasn in my high schl career, I trained s hard that I gt exhausted and hurt my calf. Rather than pausing fr treatment and recvery, I chse t get t the line. But at last, I had t step ff the track because the pain was simply unbearable.
Recvery was tugh. When I was finally able t run again, I was ut f shape and culdn’t keep up with my team. Over the next three years, mre injuries fllwed. But later, a famus lng-distance runner Cathy’s pst changed everything fr me. “Every day, I make the chice t shw up and see what I’ve gt, and t try and be better. My advice: Keep shwing up.” With just a few wrds, she reminded me hw simple running really is. I realized I didn’t have t be perfect every day. I just had t shw up and give what I had.
Nw, I still run every day and have cmpleted fur marathns. Jy and gratitude are the center f my practice. Thanks t Cathy, I can always return t the calming belief that things will g my way if I just keep shwing up.
