In high schl, I was the girl with the verstuffed backpack, which was filled with items I thught I might need but never 1 used: extra ntebks, a pack f markers, a first-aid kit, water bttles, and even a change f clthes. I was cnvinced that being 2 meant being weighed dwn.
I arrived n the cllege campus with the same versized backpack, and it wasn't lng befre the physical harm became impssible t 3 . My shulders and back ached cnstantly, and I even 4 scial events because I didn't want t carry that heavy bag arund.
I knew I needed t make a change and decided t adpt the“One Bag Rule”:everything I needed fr the day had t fit int a small, lightweight backpack. At first, it was 5 . I stared at piles f“essential” items, trying t decide what t leave behind. Finally, I replaced my heavy reference bks with a single ntebk. Idnated my extra water bttles and kept just ne. I even learned t live withut a first-aid kit, 6 that the campus health center was never t far away.
The 7 perid was tugh, but the rewards were immediate. My back pain disappeared within weeks. I mved faster thrugh the campus. I returned t scial events because my bag was n lnger a 8 —— it was a cnvenience. But the biggest change was mental. When I stpped carrying arund a bag full f“what-ifs”, Istarted living mre 9 , I n lnger felt the need t prepare fr every pssible disaster. That sense f 10 welled int every area f my life, giving me space t fcus n what truly matters.

I had n idea it was pssible t sweat s heavily withut engaging in any physical activity. I wasn't standing at the pen dr f a plane thusands f feet in the air,ready t jump ut int the wild, blue sky. Rather, I was simply sitting n my bed,wearing my mst cmfrtable clthes, and waiting t hit the“Enter classrm”buttn n my cmputer. I had signed up fr an nline language lessn with aPrtuguese language tutr. Fr the past few mnths, I had been studying the language and I knew vide chat was the next best ptin.
As I clicked the buttn, a friendly face ppped up n the screen in frnt f me.At that mment, my mind frze. Feeling my nervusness, my tutr said smething Istill remember tday,“Learning a new language is like shwing yur weakness t the wrld. It can be uncmfrtable.” The ice was fficially brken. As I' ve prgressed alng n my language jurney, I ften think back t her insight.
She is right. We take as a given the pwer t express urselves freely, and when that pwer is taken away, we are brught t a place f weakness. Yet if we keep pushing frward despite this weakness, we will unlck a wealth f valuable gains.
My three-year-ld sn has big feelings but has insufficient vcabulary t prperly express himself. When I started learning Prtuguese, I realized hw difficult it must be fr him t be understd in the adult wrld arund him. I'm a better parent nw.
When my husband and I finally visited Prtugal and rdered fd in Prtuguese at a small shp, the server thanked us fr taking time t learn their language.Learning Prtuguese taught me that attempting t learn smene else's language shws respect nt nly fr their hmeland but fr the peple themselves.
Taking n the challenge f Prtuguese has als awakened a fire within me. If yu had tld me a year ag that I wuld be taking a writing curse, cmpeting in cmpetitins at my gym, r learning abut car maintenance, I truly wuldn't have believed it. Nw I deeply believe that challenging yurself can be rewarding in ways yu will never knw unless yu attempt it.

Tw summers ag, in the blue waters ff the cast f a small Caribbean island; a sperm whale named Runder began t give birth. Eleven members f her family slwly gathered arund t supprt her, cming frm miles away in their hme waters. They called t ne anther in Mrse cde-like clicks as they waited fr the baby t arrive and in the hurs that fllwed, when they held the baby abve water s that she culd breathe.
Scientists are develping innvatins in recrding and analyzing: their cmmunicatins that culd smeday make it pssible t understand at least sme f what whales say t each ther in this extrardinary mment. David Gruber, president fPrject CTI—— Cetacean(鲸类) Translatin Initiative, has gathered dzens f linguists,bilgists, rbticists, and experts in artificial intelligence t dcument the lives and cmmunicatins f sperm whales. Gruber's team is wrking t develp a translatin tl, which wuld transfrm sperm whale sunds int human wrds. One result f the research might be a wrld in which-humans“undeniably understand” these creatures’ experience frm their wn perspectives, and this might breathe new life int whale cnservatin.
Cnsider, fr instance, the prblem f cean nise pllutin. Massive marine mammals such as sperm whales depend n highly-specialized echlcatin systems t search fr fd and navigate the vast, lightless znes f the cean and their highly-develped cerebral neural systems supprt near-cnstant cmmunicatin with cmpanins in their scial grups. Thus, sund cnstitutes an irreplaceable and life-sustaining sensry cre fr them. Grwing human nise—— il and gas explratin,cnstructin, and mst f all, ship engine nise—— is. a clear harm, disturbing the basic activities f sperm whale life.
While the evidence f harm is bvius, current laws are far frm functinal.Existing regulatins(法规) prvide a legal framewrk fr preventing harm, but nise-related harm is mstly ignred. This is exactly where the breakthrugh lies. What if whales were dcumented nt nly struggling t make themselves heard abve the nise, but actually talking abut it? Were a sperm whale heard vicing the pain caused by ship engine nise, its wrds wuld likely carry mre weight in a curt f law than d human descriptins f the prblem. Being able t present the whales’wn statement, s t speak, might lead t actin being taken.
The pursuit t find and translate cmplex animal cmmunicatin shuld nt reduce the wrth f creatures wh dn't appear t have thse capacities. We may simply fail t appreciate their intelligence; and the lack f rich cmmunicatin des nt make any life less special. But it wuld still be incredible, and perhaps transfrmative, t knw what sperm whales say—— and this culd be seen as an entry pint, a beginning rather than a destinatin, n the jurney t appreciating all creatures.
28. What is the main gal f Prject CTI?
A. T prmte cetacean interactins.
B. T build a bridge t sperm whales’ thughts.
C. T call fr regulatins t prtect sperm whales.
D. T secure a safer habitat fr endangered whales.
29. The authr uses the questin underlined in Paragraph 4 t .
A. express a dubtB. defend a viewpint
C. questin an assumptinD. intrduce a pssibility
30. What can we cnclude frm this passage?
A. Research n animals shuld be cnducted with care.
B. Understanding whales is a start t unlck their ptential.
C. Whales’ wn accunts may help reduce harm frm humans.
D. The lack f nise-related laws is due t cmmn miscnceptins.

A few years ag, I wrte a piece in which I declared that bigraphy, if nt quite dead, was in very pr cnditin. I was cncerned that fr far t lng, it had been criticized that bigraphies were prly written and just listed facts frm birth t death. I even hesitated befre telling peple I was a bigrapher: it felt tantamunt t admitting that I was a jurnalist incapable f riginal thught.
But it turns ut t be therwise. It was mre that I hadn't been lking fr it hard enugh r in quite the right places. Last weekend, the University f East Anglia hsted a cnference at which the masters f bigraphy tk its pulse and gave the encuraging cnclusin. What has happened, these experts explained, is that bigraphy has changed its shape. This shift has cme frm a grwing sense that bigraphy as it used t be dne was nt getting us clse t the experience it was trying t describe. We all knw that life isn't actually cmprised f a stately march thrugh the decades in which lse ends, false trails and thse perids where nthing much happens are tidied away ut f sight, Mstly ur lives feel shapeless, cming int fōcus nly when a particular ccasin makes us feel, fr a few minutes at least,fully urselves.
T better reveal the authentic, unscripted nature f a life, ne new apprach t bigraphy emplys the presenting f smething small t tell a bigger stry. FrancesWilsn demnstrated hw effective this can be in Hw t Survivə the Titanic. She fcuses n the mment when J Bruce Ismay, the ship's wner, jumped int a lifebat meant fr wmen and children, vividly charting a stry abut ne man's lst hnur.Anther apprach is t rganise yur stry arund bjects that carried a particular emtinal charge fr the persn yu are writing abut. In The Real Jane Austen, fr instance, bigrapher Paula Byrne pulls ut an East Indian shawl(披肩) and a carriage that figured in bth Austen's persnal experience and her fictin, and tells a new stry arund them. Other bigraphers have realised that their subject's nn-eventful schling r the lng hlidays by the sea can be cut dwn t a few shrt paragraphs s they can spend mre time n the bits that matter.
These new ways f telling lives are nt entirely driven by intellectual cncerns.The pressures are cmmercial, t. Peple als have shrter attentin spans, which means that thse drstp bigraphies f 400 pages can start t seem like an appraching threat rather than a delicius prmise. But mre and mre interesting bks are being published which deal with the lives f thers. They may nt annunce themselves as“bigraphies”, but that desn't mean they aren't.
31. What des the wrd“tantamunt” underlined in Paragraph 1 mst prbably mean?
A. Superir.B. Similar.C. Unusual.D. Obvius.
32. Why des the authr share his ideas n life in Paragraph 2?
A. T assess its significance t bigraphy.
B. T justify the emerging trend in bigraphy.
C. T emphasize the value f mdern bigraphy.
D. T argue fr the authenticity f cnventinal bigraphy.
33. As fr the new appraches, the authr wuld agree that .
A. they culd be mre engaging
B. they invlve subjective descriptins
C. they might be easier fr writers t handle
D. they help cmmercialize the publishing industry
34. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. What bigraphy is all abut.
B. Whether bigraphy shuld mirrr life.
C. Why bigraphy is anything but in decline.
D. Wh defines the literary status f bigraphy.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Picture a table surrunded by curius minds, each desiring t uncver the mysteries f the universe, as they start a jurney f intellectual explratin thrugh the art f challenging questins. The scene summarizes the essence f intellectual questins. 35 They' re the kind f questins that make yu frwn, scratch yur head, and maybe even lse a little sleep.
36 Fr instance, as AI systems becme increasingly cmplex, we' re frced t deal with sme pretty mind-bending questins, like“Will AI ever achieve true cnsciusness?” r“Culd it ne day surpass human intelligence?” Envirnmental sustainability presents anther set f urgent scientific questins:“Hw can we balance ecnmic grwth with envirnmental prtectin? Culd we engineer ur way ut f a climate disaster?” Similarly, space explratin has fascinated human fr centuries. 37 We may wnder:“Culd we ne day settle n ther planets?”
Yu might be wndering:“Why bther with all these heavy questins? Can't we just enjy a nice, light cnversatin abut the weather?” Well, sure, we culd. But where's the fun in that?
Asking intellectual questins isn't just a way t sund smart at dinner parties. When we engage with intellectual questins, we' re develping critical thinking skills, enhancing ur ability t analyze cmplex issues, and bradening ur understanding f the wrld. 38 And the benefits g beynd persnal develpment. Engaging in intellectual questins can prmte understanding. When we struggle with difficult questins tgether,we learn t appreciate different viewpints, t challenge ur wn assumptins, and t find cmmn grund even in disagreement. 39 Didn't many f the wrld's greatest discveries and inventins start with smene asking“What if?” r“Why nt?”
S next time yu find yurself in a cnversatin, dn't be afraid t dig a little deeper, t ask the big questins, and t challenge assumptins. Yur brain and the wrld will thank yu fr it.
A. Intellectual questins arise accrdingly.
B. It's like ging t the gym, but fr yur brain.
C. Intellectual questins are nt just surface-level inquiries.
D. Mrever, raising big questins drives innvatin and prgress.
E. In a wrld full f challenges, they are mre imprtant than ever.
F. As we explre further, the questins tuch n the very fabric f ur sciety.
G. The questins that unlck deep insights and meaningful cnnectins lie in every crner.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Last mnth, I visited a well-knwn art museum in the city with my wife. As we std befre a priceless impressinist painting, I nticed smething strange: nearly every teenager arund us was nt lking at the paintings. Their arms extended, and their eyes were fixed n the small screens f their cellphnes. They were taking phts—— dzens f them—— framing the artwrk and adjusting angles, all withut pausing t actually see the painting itself.
This scene made me wnder: have we, as a generatin, lst the ability t experience life directly? It seems that fr many f us, an event is nt real unless it is dcumented and shared n scial media. We dn't just g t a cncert; we capture it t pst nline. We dn't just watch a sunset; we film it fr the scial media platfrm.
I used t be ne f thse peple. Last summer, I went t a music festival and spent the entire night hlding my phne abve my head, trying t recrd every sng.When I gt hme, I was exhausted—— and disappinted. My vides were shaky, the audi was terrible, and I culdn't remember a single nte I had“watched” live.Wrse, I had missed the chance t dance with my friends r feel the music in my bnes. That night, I realized I had priritized sharing the mment. ver living it.
S, I have made a prmise t myself: t put my phne dwn mre ften and be fully present in thse times that make life meaningful. We need t lk at the painting instead f phtgraphing it, and dance t the music instead f recrding it.Why let ur phne cameras becme a barrier between us and the wrld? After all, the best memries are nt the nes we capture n camera—— they are the nes we capture in ur hearts.
40. What were the teenagers busy ding in the museum?
41. What did the authr realize after the music festival?
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
Fr the best memries, the authr has decided t keep recrds f the meaningful mments.
43. D yu agree that the cellphne camera has becme a barrier between us and the wrld? Why r why nt?(In abut 40 wrds)
