Many f the villagers f the Chatra district were pretty used t seeing elephants passing thrugh the village.One mrning，hwever，there was ne elephant that immediately std ut frm the grup.She circled arund a muddy area f a field and wuldn't settle dwn.The villagers culdn't understand why.Then the elephant began t dig her trunk （象鼻） int the muddy field.She was cmpletely separate frm her grup at this pint.
It sn became apparent t the villagers that the elephant was digging fr smething under the grund.Every nce in a while she wuld step back，bviusly frm tiredness.The pr elephant cntinued digging frm sunrise int sunset.The villagers were wrried that she culd be dangerus.
Eventually，after s many hurs had gne by，the villagers knew they had t d smething.They began t prceed with care，just in case the elephant became panicked.Then，as they gt clser，they understd what was happening.Inside f the hle that she had dug was her baby calf，which had fallen in and culdn't get ut.
Unfrtunately，withut knwing it，the mama elephant was actually making the situatin a lt wrse.The mre she dug，the mre the baby was pushed back int the muddy hle.The villagers knew that if they didn't step in the baby elephant wuld eventually suffcate （窒息） and nt make it.
Hwever，it wuldn't be an easy task t get the baby elephant ut.S they began thinking creatively，and befre lng an idea came t them.The first thing they did was drive a banana truck thrugh t scare away the mama elephant.With the mther elephant at a safe distance away，they used that time t remve the pile f sand near the hle that was making it difficult fr her t rescue the baby.Once they had cleared a way，the villagers mved the banana truck s that the mther elephant culd return.They hped that nw she wuld have enugh space t grab the baby and bring her calf ut.
After digging fr 11 hurs，this mama elephant was able t wrap her trunk arund the calf's bdy and began t pull it ut.After a few pulls she finally had her baby back by her side.As the mama and the calf walked away int the sunset，the villagers nticed the mst heartwarming act：the mama and the baby were walking away with their trunks intertwined.

Scientists in the US have upladed a fruit fly t a cmputer simulatin （模拟） .Des it sund like the pening f a sci-fi film？Actually，in San Francisc，bitechnlgy cmpany En Systems scientists have recently dne this exact experiment.They upladed a cpy f the brain f a living fly int a simulatin，and created a virtual insect that knew hw t walk，fly，grm and feed in its virtual envirnment.
The big scientific news is that the team has essentially recreated the creature's behaviural wiring.The digital insect already knew hw t behave like a fly，withut any training r prmpting.This challenges a central assumptin f mdern AI：that intelligence must be acquired.In the case f the fly，much f its behaviur appears t be built-in.
"The brain was scanned using electrn micrscpy.Our head f engineering led a prject t emulate （复刻） that brain，and nw we've placed the emulated brain back int a bdy，s it can wander arund a virtual wrld，" Michael Andregg，CEO f En Systems said.
A fruit fly's brain cmprises arund 140，000 neurns.The virtual fly has 87 jints and can d pretty much anything an actual fly can.But des it realise it's living in a simulatin？
"The fly prbably knws smething's ff，because we're nt simulating the envirnment with high fidelity （保真度）， " says Andregg. "We can't give very specific taste and smell clues — just that smething smells sweet r tastes bitter.But there are n cmplex smells."
Brain emulatin，Andregg suggests，culd eventually allw humans "t grw in a wrld with superintelligence.Our gal is t make the emulatin and cmputed brain and bdy feel indistinguishable frm the natural bichemical bdy and brain，" he cntinues. "If it feels different，we've dne smething wrng."
But we're still a lng way frm the uplad-yurself-int-the-internet futures imagined in sci-fi films，mainly because，in this case，the fly's brain had t be remved frm the bdy first. "Scanning the bdy was t hard，" says Andregg，which will prbably reduce the waiting list fr human vlunteers willing t try ut the technlgy.
Meanwhile，Chng，a bilgical cmputing scientist，believes bilgical cmputing culd achieve things that traditinal cmputing has struggled with. "There's a thing called Mravec's paradx （悖论）， which is well knwn in rbtics：what humans find very difficult，cmputers find easy，and what cmputers find difficult，humans find easy，" he says.
"Abstract reasning，mathematics and language are relatively recent in evlutinary （进化的） terms，which is partly why cmputers excel at them.But mtr cntrl and prbabilistic decisin-making are things we've inherited thrugh millins f years f evlutin.Rbts may be very gd at slving maths prblems，but we're still trying t build rbts that can walk prperly." Bilgical systems like the fruit fly simulatin，he says，might eventually pwer rbts，drnes and ther machines that need t handle the messy unpredictability f the real wrld.
Fr nw，smewhere in Silicn Valley，a fruit fly is living its secnd life inside a cmputer，ttally unaware that it is living in a virtual wrld.
9.The authr uses "a sci-fi film" in Paragraph 1 mainly t ______ .
A. indicate the experiment may be based n a sci-fi film.
B. present the experiment as surprisingly futuristic.
C. suggest the experiment may affect future life.
D. prve the experiment t be highly unreliable.
10.What can we learn frm the digital fly research？______
A. The digital fly is nt able t taste and smell.
B. The digital fly realises it is in a virtual wrld.
C. Sme intelligence f the digital fly may be inbrn.
D. The same technlgy will sn be tested n human vlunteers.
11.Regarding bilgical cmputing，Chng might agree that ______ .
A. it will allw rbts t d what they presently cannt.
B. it imprves human's decisin-making ability.
C. it speeds up the curse f human evlutin.
D. it will vertake traditinal cmputing .

Right nw，I'm glued t my phne.Like mst peple，I get my news frm varius apps — scial psts，pdcasts，newsletters — and when things are blwing up，I can't lk away.The strangest part，thugh，is that the mre I watch and read what ther peple are saying，the lnelier I feel.
This is hardly a new r unique experience.Scilgists have been talking abut it fr nearly 80 years.In 1950，David Riesman published a bk called The Lnely Crwd，in which he argued that the rise f cnsumerism and mass media had led t a new kind f persnality type that is deeply sensitive t lneliness.He called this persnality "ther-directed".Other-directed peple are cnstantly attuned t what everyne arund them is ding，using the preferences f their peer grups t decide what t buy，wear and think.Riesman warned that ther-directed peple are bsessed with cnfrming，anxius t be "part f a crwd".What they fear mre than anything is being alne.
There's a paradx in every ther-directed persn's heart.As much as they may want t cnfrm，t be part f the grup chat，they als want t feel like they are unique.Riesman explained that cnsumerism itself relieves this ther-directed anxiety by ffering "false persnalisatin".
This kind f false persnalisatin shws up all the time in the algrithms （算法） that shape ur experiences nline.Many apps have a "fr yu" feed full f vides that feel tailr-made fr ur specific tastes.And yet it is shaped by an algrithm that we dn't cntrl，whse purpse is largely t keep ur eyeballs glued t the same app that everyne else is glued t.It is "fr yu" in the service f cnfrmity.
As ther-directed peple，we are invited t express urselves mainly by participating in peer grups r by "jining the cnversatin".And yet we still feel lnely.That's because when we piece urselves tgether ut f what we think ther peple want，we hide frm smething crucial：ur wn truly persnal，messy，nn-cnfrmist desires.
Riesman suggested tw slutins t this ther-directed prblem.First，we need t take back ur leisure hurs frm the hyper-cnsumerist wrld f media.All that effrt we put int paying attentin t ur peers is t much like wrk，and we need mre free play!Secnd，we shuld test ut new identities and experiences.Figure ut what we enjy when nbdy is telling us what "fun" is suppsed t be.D smething we have never dne befre.Surprise urselves.And see hw it feels t
Yu wn't figure ut wh yu are frm a "fr yu" feed r a chatbt.S get ff yur phne，d smething unexpected and be yurself fr a while.
12.What des the wrd "attuned" underlined in Paragraph 2 mst prbably mean？______
A. Oppsed B. Sympathetic C. Attentive D. Critical
13.What can be inferred abut ther-directed peple frm the passage？______
A. They feel greatly terrified f being left ut.
B. They usually give up their individuality t cnfrm.
C. Their lneliness can be relieved by chatting with thers.
D. Their false persnalisatin pushes them t think fr themselves.
14.Accrding t David Riesman，we shuld ______ .
A. recgnise cnsumerism in the wrld f media
B. fcus n building a cnsistent self-identity
C. achieve a balance between wrk and play
D. explre t find ut what we truly enjy
15.Which wuld be the best title fr the passage？______
A. Cure fr Lneliness B. Alne in the Digital Crwd
C. Face Our True Selves Bravely D. Hw Other-Directedness Wrks

We all grew up hearing abut the benefits f learning a new language. (16) But is it beneficial fr yur mind？Accrding t mdern neurscience，the answer is a definitive YES.If yu engage with the language actively and cnsistently.
It builds a mre pwerful brain.When yu learn a language，yu aren't just memrizing wrds.Yu are training yur brain t recgnize new patterns，switch between different grammatical systems，and slve cmmunicatin prblems. (17) This center is key fr fcus，multitasking，and even resisting distractins.Essentially，it's like weightlifting fr yur mind，building cgnitive （认知的） muscles that help in all areas f thinking.
Recently，scientists have als begun studying the lng-term cnnectin between knwing tw languages and mental resilience.Prmising findings have led t new appraches in cgnitive health.Research suggests that cnstantly managing tw languages creates a "cgnitive reserve".This reserve acts as a buffer （缓冲）， ptentially delaying the beginning f age-related cgnitive decline. (18) Peple with this linguistic training ften maintain better memry and prblem-slving skills later in life.The mental flexibility it prvides gives plenty f prtectin.It helps create a mre adaptable and resilient mind.
(19) While struggling with new grammar rules can be annying，it als frces yu t see the wrld frm a different cultural angle.T truly understand a language，yu must absrb the histry，humr，and values cntained within it. (20) It builds empathy （共情） and cultural understanding.It bradens yur view f the glbal cmmunity，linking yu t peple and ideas in a meaningful way.
A.It's ften praised as a valuable skill.
B.This prcess desn't just teach yu vcabulary.
C.Indeed，language learning can make ne's brain pwerful.
D.Its benefits g far beynd building language skills，thugh.
E.Furthermre，learning a new language can reshape yur visin.
F.This hard mental wrkut strengthens the brain's cntrl center.

Fr Sam， "hme" had always been a large，nisy farm in Iwa.When his parents annunced a mve t a small apartment in Seattle fr his mm's new jb，cnflicts arse.His cnflict wasn't with a persn，but with a place — a city that felt like a cld cncrete maze （迷宫） .
He spent the first mnth as a "depressed ghst" in his new high schl，headphnes sealing （隔绝） him in a bubble f cuntry music.His nly pleasure was the tiny，walled cncrete square attached t their building，which the landlrd called a "pati".It hused a single，sad-lking raised bed filled with hard-packed dirt and weeds.
One rainy Saturday，ut f bredm and a deep，aching hmesickness fr the smell f sil，Sam put n a jacket and started pulling weeds.The actin was familiar，a muscle memry f tasks back hme.He fund a few packets f ld seeds — lettuce and mariglds — in a drawer and planted them withut thinking.He didn't expect anything t grw.
But he kept checking.He watered them.T his shck，ten days later，tiny green shts pushed thrugh the dark sil.A fierce，prtective pride rse in his chest.He had dne that.In the heart f the gray city，he had made smething grw.
He started spending afternns there，tending his little garden.One evening，his mm brught ut tw glasses f lemnade.They sat in the tw flding chairs he'd fund，surrunded by the green life he'd grwn. "It smells like hme ut here，" she said sftly，and he realized it was true.The smell f damp earth and green tmates was his supprt.
Sam's cnflict with the city didn't end.The traffic was still lud，and the schl was still verwhelming.But he had carved ut a piece f it fr himself.He had learned that hme isn't just a lcatin yu're given；it's a feeling yu build，seed by seed，wherever yu are.In taking care f that small patch f green，he wasn't just grwing plants — he was grwing rts，and finally，a new sense f belnging.
（1）Why did Sam's family mve t Seattle？
（2）Hw did Sam feel when the tiny green shts pushed thrugh the dark sil ten days later？
（3）Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement，then underline it and explain why.
After Sam tk care f his small garden，his cnflict ended
（4）In additin t gardening，what else culd yu d t slve yur cnflict with a new envirnment？（ In abut 40 wrds）
