The “Glbal Psitining System”, r GPS, is used by billins f peple arund the wrld every day. It allws users t determine their exact lcatin anywhere n Earth. Until recently,
hwever, very few peple knew that GPS wuld nt exist withut the wrk f Gladys West. Her cntributins t the US Navy helped make GPS a reality.
Ms. West, a black mathematician and cmputer prgrammer, grew up wrking n a farm in Virginia. She was brn in 1930, when Black peple in the US were treated as if they were nt
equal t white peple. When it was time fr her t get educated, Ms. West attended a ne-rm schl, a place whse cnditins everyne can imagine, alng with ther Black children.
Nevertheless, the yung girl came t realize the vital imprtance that educatin held in ne’s life. Having studied with great effrt, she eventually wn a schlarship t Virginia State Cllege and btained her bachelr’s degree in mathematics upn graduatin.
In 1955, President Dwight Eisenhwer made it pssible fr Black peple t hld US
gvernment jbs. In the fllwing year, she tk part in a prject designed t determine the
precise shape f the Earth. As part f her wrk, Ms. West had t prgram ne f the wrld’s first supercmputers. Her wrk helped create an extremely precise mathematical mdel f the Earth’s shape. The exact mdel was used t plan the rbits f satellites fr the GPS system. Thugh GPS was develped fr the US military, it has wund up helping peple arund the wrld every day.
Ms. West cntinued t wrk at the lab fr 42 years, until she retired in 1998. But she didn’t just stay at hme after that. She went back t schl and gt a Ph. D. In spite f Ms. West’s
success, she wasn’t really recgnized fr her wrk until 2018, when she wn several awards—a delay rted in the gender and racial discriminatin she endured in her career.
24 ．What can we learn abut Gladys West frm her early life?
A ．She lived a wealthy childhd.
B ．She cared abut scial fairness.
C ．She had a hunger fr knwledge.
D ．She hped t be a mathematician.
25 ．Why was Gladys West’s wrk imprtant fr GPS?
A ．Because it imprved GPS device perfrmance.
B ．Because it designed early man-made satellites.
C ．Because it discvered rules f space mvement.
D ．Because it supprted GPS satellite rbit planning.
26 ．What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A ．Female effrts deserve mre recgnitin.
B ．Great achievements can be easily ignred.
C ．Science shapes the prgress f mdern sciety.
D ．We need mre utstanding female researchers.
27 ．What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A ．T hnur an unsung pineer.
B ．T stress the imprtance f educatin.
C ．T intrduce the develpment f GPS.

A Chinese ecnmist nce asked me a thught-prvking questin abut British
universities: “Why d yu lck yur yung peple, wh are at their mst creative stage, in quiet ld campuses fr three years and let them enjy t much leisure?” Every August, this questin cmes t my mind.
Nwadays, the UK university system is suffering frm serius prblems. The number f cllege students rse by 68% frm 1997 t 2010. Later, the gvernment permitted universities t charge £9,000 per student each year with n limit n enrllment(入学). Cnsequently, many
universities lwered their teaching standards and campuses became increasingly vercrwded. Sme cities have tw r even three universities, causing a huge waste f public budget.
Meanwhile, the leaders f tp Russell Grup universities are highly paid, with an average yearly salary f £400,000.
Wrse still, university degrees are gradually declining in value. Many emplyers pay less attentin t graduates’ academic grades, and sme even disregard whether applicants have a
degree. Ten years ag, the famus accunting firm EY abandned the practice f fcusing n A-level results and degree grades when hiring. Official statistics shw that ver a quarter f
British graduates end up in lw r medium-skill jbs. The ecnmic advantages f a university degree are declining sharply.
Actually, sme practical slutins are available. As frmer university minister J Jhnsn suggested, tw-year curses are enugh fr mst subjects, fr current three-year prgrams nly
prvide abut six mnths f teaching per year. Besides, large-scale mergers shuld be carried ut t change the situatin where almst every city has tw r even three universities. It is als
necessary t restre vcatinal clleges with clser ties t lcal jbs, which was practiced by James Dysn when he funded the Dysn Institute in Wiltshire in 2017.
Of curse, ne shall nt prematurely lse cnfidence in the universities. This stems frm the fact that universities are nt nly places fr jb preparatin but als centers f liberal
educatin(通识教育) that can reach and influence a far wider ppulatin beynd its yung students.
28 ．Why is the Chinese ecnmist’s questin mentined in paragraph 1?
A ．T shw cncern fr British yuth.
B ．T indicate yung peple’s creativity.
C ．T intrduce challenges facing UK universities.
D ．T present a thught-prvking questin abut educatin.
29 ．What can be inferred abut UK universities frm the passage?
A ．They lack sufficient gvernment funding.
B ．They ignre their students’ career develpment.
C ．They attach great imprtance t teaching quality.
D ．They face declining educatin and devalued degrees.
30 ．What des the underlined wrd “mergers” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A ．Cmbinatins. B ．Revlutins.
C ．Separatins. D ．Organizatins.
31 ．What is the authr’s attitude twards UK universities?
A ．Wrried and hpeless.
B ．Critical but supprtive.
C ．Indifferent but bjective.
D ．Cncerned and dubtful.

A new study f e-sprts gamers has fund that sparkling water culd be a better alternative t still water fr thse aiming t maintain cncentratin and alertness during extended perids f desk wrk.
Gamers ften rely n caffeine-rich drinks such as cffee r energy drinks t stay in the zne during lng sessins. Hwever, cnsuming these caffeinated drinks in large quantities pses
significant ptential health risks, including sleep disruptin and increased heart burden.
Researchers frm the University f Tsukuba in Japan thus sught t investigate whether sparkling water culd prvide a safer and equally effective alternative.
On tw separate ccasins, 14 casual gamers were asked t play virtual sccer fr three
hurs. In ne trial, they drank plain water; and in the ther, they cnsumed sparkling water. Based n cmprehensive measurements, including reactin speeds, pupil size changes (a key indicatr f tiredness), physical stress hrmnes, and self-reprted exhaustin levels, the results clearly
indicated that sparkling water was superir in sustaining attentin levels and minimizing tiredness.
Scientists prpse a plausible thery behind this imprvement. The carbn dixide mixed in sparkling water interacts with specific sensry receptrs in the muth knwn as “transient
receptr ptential” (TRP) channels. This interactin triggers an increase in mental alertness, thereby enhancing cgnitive perfrmance during extended tasks.
Beynd subjective feelings f alertness, players als reprted enjying the sessins mre when drinking sparkling water. Furthermre, statistical analysis revealed that players cmmitted fewer in-game errrs while under its influence, althugh their verall ffensive and defensive
skills remained unchanged.
“These findings demnstrate that sparkling water effectively reduces bth subjective and bjective signs f cgnitive tiredness during extended e-sprts perfrmance”, the researchers
cncluded.
Nevertheless, these results shuld be cnsidered alngside the study’s funding surces. The research received partial financial supprt frm a sft drink cmpany that manufactures the
sparkling water emplyed in the experiments, and tw f the study’s authrs wrk fr this
cmpany. These financial links intrduce ptential cnflicts f interest that may have biased the results.
32 ．What des the study fcus n?
A ．A better ptin fr sustained cncentratin.
B ．The effects f caffeine-rich drinks n gamers.
C ．Measures t reduce gaming-related tiredness.
D ．The rle fTRP channels in mental alertness.
33 ．Hw did sparkling water affect gamers’ perfrmance?
A ．By increasing physical stress levels.
B ．By reducing misplay during matches.
C ．By imprving reactin speed significantly.
D ．By enhancing ffensive and defensive skills.
34 ．What is the main idea f paragraph 4?
A ．The cre lgic f the imprvement.
B ．The verall prcess f the research.
C ．The key factrs fr the imprvement.
D ．The prcedures fr cllecting experimental data.
35 ．What’s the best title fr the passage?
A ．The Hidden Dangers f Caffeine Drinks
B ．E-sprts Gamer’s New Favrite: Sparkling Water
C ．A New Study n TRP Channels and Mental Alertness
D ．Sparkling Water—A Safer Chice fr E-sprts Gamers

67 ．I walked straight t the windw seat and sat dwn. I rdered a cup f cffee, and the familiar smell tk me back t the glden days we spent tgether. I watched the dr, nervusly expecting Teresa’s arrival. Hwever, after 40 minutes and three cups f cffee, there was still n sign f her. Disappinted and a bit annyed, I wndered if it was t late t repair ur friendship. With my
spirits sinking, I std up and prepared t head ff.
Just as I was abut t leave, a familiar vice reached my ears. I frze, my heart punding wildly. Turning arund, I saw Teresa, her bright smile and curly hair just as I remembered. She aplgized fr being delayed by heavy traffic. At that mment, all my unease and pride
disappeared. We hugged tightly, and the ten-year separatin caused by ur silly disagreement
seemed t fade away. In that simple mment, I truly understd that true friendship can stand the test f time and that a sincere heart always matters mre than pride.
