I have lng been skeptical（怀疑的） abut the idea that phnes are addictive devices.Hwever，a few mnths ag，I began t wrry that I was spending t much time n my phne，ften switching between nline news and shrt-vide apps.
When I read abut changing my phne t black-and-white mde，I decided t try it.The result was surprising.The mment I turned ff the clr，I n lnger felt the same urgent need t check my phne.I experienced a strng sense f relief.It felt as if an invisible bnd had been cut.
After that，I began leaving my phne in anther rm as I mved arund the huse.I'd g hurs withut checking it，rather than just minutes.The amunt f time I spent n my phne drpped by abut 40 percent.
Scientists call this cnditin"prblematic smartphne use，"which refers t the difficulty cntrlling the urge t use a phne，ften t the pint that it affects daily life.Fr me，checking my phne was ften a way t reduce anxiety.
Life in grayscale（黑白模式） als brught sme small incnveniences.Fr example，I smetimes hung up calls by mistake because bth buttns were gray.Phts als lked strange，especially the clrful images sent by my family.

After a few weeks，I nticed anther change.I began reading mre bks，spending mre time with my family，and planning scial activities.I fund myself enjying these real-wrld experiences mre than using my phne.
Nw，I feel that turning ff clr n my phne has made me mre aware f the beauty f real life.Althugh I still use my phne every day，I n lnger feel cntrlled by it.

Expert birdwatchers have changes in their brain structure cmpared with beginners，which prbably help them better identify birds and may even prtect against age-related cgnitive（认知的） decline.
When learning r practising a skill，the brain rerganises itself，strengthening and streamlining relevant pathways.This ability，knwn as neurplasticity（神经可塑性），supprts the develpment f expert skills.It is why prfessinal musicians shw structural changes in brain regins invlved in hearing.
T understand whether birding als shapes the brain，Erik Wing at Yrk University and his clleagues analysed brain structure and functin in 48 hbbyist birders，half experts and half beginners，as judged by a screening test.Participants were aged 22 t 79 and bth grups were similar in terms f sex，age，and educatin.
While underging brain scans，the participants were shwn an image f a bird fr less than 4 secnds.Abut 10 secnds later，they tried identifying the same bird frm ne f fur images，each shwing a different species."We intentinally picked highly cnfusable bird species，"says Wing.
The task was repeated 72 times.In ttal，the researchers used images f 18 bird species-six f which were lcal and 12 f which weren't-as targets.
As expected，expert birders culd identify birds better than beginners.On average，they accurately identified 83 percent f lcal bird species and 61 percent f the nn-lcal nes.In cntrast，beginners crrectly identified 44 percent f bth grups f birds.
While identifying nn-lcal birds，activity in three brain areas increased in expert birders.These areas are the frnt part f the brain，an inner regin related t attentin，and a back part f the brain respnsible fr visual prcessing.These areas als appeared mre rganised and structurally cmplex."It speaks t the wide range f cgnitive prcesses that are invlved in birding，"says Wing.
As we age，structural cmplexity and rganisatin in the brain tend t decrease.But this decline was less prnunced in expert birders，suggesting birding may help build cgnitive reserve，the brain's ability t defend itself against ageing and adapt t damage.
"It suggests that maintaining brain activity thrugh specialised abilities is als linked t reduced effects f ageing，"says Rbert Zatrre at McGill University.Hwever，t determine whether the brain changes are truly due t birding，researchers wuld need t scan the brain multiple times ver mnths r years，says Wing.
9.Why did researchers chse"highly cnfusable bird species""？______
A. T keep participants' attentin n birds.
B. T better test real bird-identificatin skills.
C. T reduce the time needed fr the experiment.
D. T cncentrate n rare birds frm ther cuntries.
10.Which finding best supprts the idea f"cgnitive reserve"？______
A. Beginners rely n memry rather than bservatin.
B. Beginners have lwer accuracy in bird identificatin.
C. Experts experience slwer age-related cgnitive decline.
D. Experts shw increased activity in three different brain areas.
11.T imprve the study，researchers shuld ______ .
A. test nly lcal birds
B. use fewer bird species
C. invlve nly expert birders
D. fllw participants ver several years
12.Which wuld be the best title fr the passage？______
A. Why Birds Are Hard t Identify
B. Hw Nature Imprves Mental Health
C. Birdwatching May Reshape the Brain
D. The Age Difference Between Expert Birders
D
Pllutin is making many cities increasingly unlivable fr peple，but it is als tearing ant families and cmmunities apart.Ants recgnise ne anther by detecting a thin layer f hydrcarbns n their exskeletns；each cmmunity has its wn distinctive"smell".Hwever，a new study reveals that zne emissins（臭氧排放） can change the structure f these hydrcarbns.After ants are expsed t urban air cntaining arund 100 parts per billin f zne，their nestmates n lnger recgnise them.Sme are attacked by members f their wn cmmunity，while thers neglect larvae（幼虫） expsed t zne，leaving them t die.
This stry is a case f anthrpmrphism-prjecting human characteristics nt nn-human creatures.Althugh many scientists criticise anthrpmrphism as misleading.thers draw parallels between ants and humans t explain the evlutin（进化） f selflessness and scial netwrks.Famusly，entmlgist used ants as evidence fr his thery f "scibilgy，"which suggests that many animal behaviurs result frm evlutinary necessity.Evlutinary bilgist Stephen Jay Guld，hwever，criticised this idea as"bilgical determinism，"warning that it culd justify unfair genetic plicies.
But smething fundamental has changed.Debrah Grdn，a Stanfrd bilgist，discvered that ant behaviur can be understd algrithmically（以算法的方式）.Wrking with cmputer scientists，she shwed that ants allcate tasks thrugh distributed signalling netwrks.If a wrker ant discvers a large fd surce，she leaves behind a chemical trail fr thers t fllw.Other ants detect the signal and realise that mre fd-searching ants are needed，drpping what they are ding t jin the task.There is n leader.Grdn nicknamed this prcess"the anternet" because it wrks like the way cmputer netwrks manage data flw.
Algrithmic determinism has replaced bilgical determinism，but the result fr ants remains the same：humans cntinue t use them as examples rather than appreciating them as creatures with their wn distinct frms f scial life.This brings us back t pllutin.Grdn's anternet depends n ants frm the same cmmunity meeting，exchanging infrmatin，and determining whether t assist their sisters.But when zne changes their hydrcarbns，they can n lnger recgnise ne anther and cperate effectively.The cllapse f cmmunicatin culd ultimately lead t the death f the cmmunity.
T humans，this may seem insignificant.But we share the planet with ther creatures.If we fail t limit zne pllutin，we may destry entire scial systems beynd ur wn.Perhaps it is time we shuld stp using ants as examples fr urselves and ur machines，and start caring abut wh they really are.
13.What ability is mst affected after zne expsure in ants？______
A. The ability t recgnize nestmates.
B. The ability t lcate fd surces.
C. The ability t find their nests.
D. The ability t call fr help.
14.What des the underlined phrase"draw parallels" in Paragraph 2 mst prbably mean？______
A. Identify similarities.B. Create cnflicts.
C. Cnduct experiments.D. Develp theries.
15.What can be inferred abut the"anternet" described in the passage？______
A. It reduces the need fr ants t detect chemicals.
B. It depends heavily n reliable cmmunicatin signals.
C. It requires a leader t rganize fd-searching behaviur.
D. It was develped by cmputer scientists and later used t study ants.
16.What is the authr's attitude tward using ants as examples fr humans r machines？______
A. Dubtful.B. Critical.C. Psitive.D. Indifferent.

45. I used t have an extremely pr natural memry.I cnstantly struggled t remember names，dates，and vcabulary，and any new knwledge I learned wuld quickly slip frm my mind.Discuraged by this weakness，I decided t master prfessinal memry techniques.As a cmpetitr in my sixties，I wn the Australian Memry Champinships in bth 2017 and 2018.Over the past decade，I have built kilmetres f memry palaces t stre a wide range f knwledge，including gegraphy，freign vcabulary，and much mre.
The memry palace，als knwn as the methd f lci，is an ancient technique riginating in Ancient Greece.Simply put，it is a custmized mental space where peple stre and rganize infrmatin.Unlike rte memrizatin，it requires deep understanding rather than blind repetitin.I fllw several clear steps t build my wn memry palaces.First，I chse a familiar lcatin，such as my huse，and arrange fixed spts in a clear rder，such as the frnt dr，the bkcase，and the table.Secnd，I attach infrmatin t these lcatins by creating vivid and striking mental assciatins.Third，I repeatedly take a mental walk thrugh the space in rder t becme familiar with the sequence.I als fllw a rule f marking every fifth lcatin fr easier recall，which helps prevent me frm missing any infrmatin.
I have gained many benefits frm this pwerful technique.It nt nly helps me memrize infrmatin efficiently but als allws me t keep knwledge fr a lng time.This wrks because the hippcampus in ur brain is highly sensitive t spatial infrmatin（空间信息）.By linking knwledge t specific lcatins，I can transfer shrt-term memries int lng-term nes，while vivid mental assciatins further strengthen recall.In additin，this methd imprves cgnitive abilities such as cncentratin and curisity.With knwledge clearly rganized in my mind，I am able t cnnect unrelated ideas and stimulate creativity.
This technique is suitable fr every learner.Even thugh I am nt naturally gd at visualizing images，I can still memrize effectively thrugh lgical stries and assciatins.I have built varius memry palaces fr gegraphy，histry，and freign languages withut being limited by physical space.Instead f depending entirely n the Internet t search fr infrmatin，I firmly internalize knwledge.With regular scientific review，the infrmatin can remain in my memry fr years.In cnclusin，the memry palace is an easy-t-learn skill that can greatly imprve bth learning efficiency and memry capacity.
（1）Why did the writer start learning prfessinal memry techniques？（不多于9个单词）

（2）What is a memry palace？（不多于12个单词）

（3）Hw des the writer supprt the idea that memry can be imprved？（不多于8个单词）

（4）What can we learn frm the writer's experience？（单词数不限）
