In the middle f the night, a baby chimpanzee (黑猩猩) is having nightmares. Chantal, his caretaker, tries t calm him dwn. She wrks at the Tchimpunga Chimpanzee Rehabilitatin Center, in the Republic f the Cng, in Africa. The chimp’s name is Gerge. He was taken frm his mther by hunters. Finally, he was rescued and taken t the sanctuary (鸟兽保护区), where Chantal helped him make friends with ther chimpanzees. “We rescue chimps frm terrible cnditins and help them t live in the wild like ther chimpanzees,” Chantal said, “They need t learn chimp behavir.”
Chimpanzees meet a lt difficulties because peple cut dwn frest and illegal (非法的) wildlife trade. Their ppulatin, numbering in the millins a century ag, culd be dwn t 172,000. This makes the wrk f the Tchimpunga Sanctuary even mre imprtant.
When pening in 1992, Tchimpunga had space fr 60 chimpanzees. It has been made larger t the size f a hundred ftball fields, and prvide hme arund 150 chimps. Many live n islands with thick frest in the Kuilu River. In that envirnment, the chimps are prepared fr a pssible return t the wild. The sanctuary als wrks with the gvernment t reduce illegal trade in animals. Tchimpunga’s head veterinarian (兽医) Rebeca Atencia said, “We have effectively reduced the arrival f rphan (孤儿) chimpanzees t Tchimpunga. We’ve received nly ne rphan chimp ver the past three years.”
The chimps have shwn that they understand the sanctuary staff’s effrts. “Saving the life f a chimpanzee is very gratifying,” Atencia says. “Chimpanzees knw when yu’re helped them r saved their life. Smetimes, they thank yu with a hug.”
As the leader f Jane Gdall Institute (JGI), Atencia als wrks with peple wh live near the sanctuary. These peple depend n the frest fr fd and building huses, and their grwing ppulatin is a danger t chimps. JGI helps the peple in these places get healthcare, clean water, and thers. This makes them less dependent n the area’s natural resurces and reduces illegal trade in chimps. At present, there are islands within the sanctuary where the chimps can be safe frm wild chimpanzees and hunters. And they’ re still under the care f the sanctuary staff.
24．What happened t chimps after they were taken t the sanctuary?
A．They gt tgether with their mthers.
B．They were trained t cmfrt scial wrkers.
C．They were taught hw t live a usual life.
D．They were used fr scientific experiments.
25．Hw des Rebeca Atencia prbably find the sanctuary’s wrk?
A．It was dangerus and cst a lt f mney at first.
B．It has received lts f supprt.
C．It hardly saves adult chimps.
D．It is a success.
26．What des the underlined wrd “gratifying” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Challenging.B．Interesting.C．Pleasing.D．Tiring.
27．What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A．Supprting lcal peple is gd fr chimp prtectin.
B．Mre effrts shuld be made t care fr wild chimps.
C．The chimp ppulatin in the sanctuary has grwn quickly.
D．Peple near the sanctuary depend n turists t increase incme.

Have yu ever wndered why ther peple dn’t see things the same way yu d? Isn’t it cnfusing that yu dn’t necessarily share the same viewpints even when yu cme frm the same family? Why can’t they just see it my way? The scientific explanatin cmes frm cgnitive (认知的) psychlgy; it’s a mental prcess knwn as infrmatin prcessing.
Frm a psychlgical perspective, yu have yur wn internal set f cre values, memries, and quality f emtin. With every external event yu experience, the infrmatin cmes in and is filtered (过滤) thrugh yur emtins, memries, and values. Hw yu “see” yurself, thers, and the wrld yu live in will be flavred by what yu’ve experienced r believe t be true. In ther wrds, yu dn’t see things as they are — yu see things as yu are.
Yu have a prcess fr filtering infrmatin and it may strike yu as being dd, t say the least, when thers dn’t subscribe t the same beliefs, thughts, and pinins. What if yu cnsidered, even fr just a mment, that what yu are perceiving is nly ne pssibility — and that there are several ther ways t interpret a situatin?
In every walk f life, yu find yurself defending yur beliefs, arguing fr hw yu remember smething that happened, and psitining yurself t influence thers t see things yur way. But what if yu’re missing the imprtant pint that yur differences are what make life clrful? Thse differences are what stimulate yur mind and emtins. Withut differences, life wuld be dull. There wuld be n “aha” mment if yu knew everything. There wuld be n inspiratin in the frm f art, music, petry, style, r cmmunicatin.
There will be times in yur life when bundaries may need t be enfrced with thers and, at the end f the day, yu want t feel understd and appreciated. Learning t hnr yur viewpints, while thers have their wn is vital fr cexisting in a wrld where every individual is perfectly unique.
28．Which f the fllwing is nt mentined in the text t play rle in infrmatin prcessing?
A．Experiences.B．Persnalities.C．Memry.D．Emtins.
29．Hw des the authr suggest yu handle the situatin, when divided pinins arise?
A．Insist n yur wn beliefs and values.B．Ignre what things actually are.
C．Listen t and fllw thers’ cmpletely.D．Respect bth yur and thers’ pinins.
30．What is the authr’s attitude twards individual differences?
A．Psitive.B．Negative.C．Cnfused.D．Surprised.
31．Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A．Why Nbdy Understands Yu?
B．Hw Cme Yu Are S Uniate?
C．Wh is Respnsible fr Disagreement?
D．What Makes Yu Think Yu’re Right?
D
Parents have been urged t stp pretending Father Christmas is real in case the “lie” damages relatins with their children. Making up stries abut Santa risks destrying a child’s trust and is mrally unbelievable, accrding t tw experts.
Psychlgist Prfessr Christpher Byle and scial scientist Dr. Kathy McKay als criticize the idea emplyed by parents—Santa Claus judges children t be nice r naughty. Writing in a well-knwn jurnal, they argue, “If they are capable f lying abut smething s special and magical, can they be relied upn t cntinue as the guardians f wisdm and truth?”
Defending the claims, Prf Byle said, “The mrality f making children believe in such myths has t be questined. All children will eventually find ut they’ve been cnsistently lied t fr years, and this might make them wnder what ther lies they’ve been tld. Whether it’s right t make children believe in Father Christmas is an interesting questin, and it’s als interesting t ask whether lying in this way will affect children in ways that have nt been cnsidered.”
Dr. McKay, frm the University f New England in Australia, said there was clear evidence frm the wrld f make-believe in mvies and TV that adults lked fr a chance t be children again. “The persistence f fandm(影迷) in stries like Harry Ptter and Star Wars indicates their desire t briefly re-enter childhd,” she said. “Hwever,” she added, “if adults have been lying abut Santa, even thugh it has usually been well intentined, what else is a lie? If Santa isn’t real, are fairies real? Is magic? Is Gd?”
They cnclude, “Many peple may lng fr a time when imaginatin was accepted and encuraged, which may nt be the case in adult life. Might it be the case that the harshness f real life requires the creatin f smething better, smething t believe in, smething t hpe fr in the future r t return t a lng-lst childhd a lng time ag in a galaxy far far away?”
32．What did parents d that drew criticism frm Dr. Kathy McKay?
A．They were fnd f Harry Ptter and Star Wars.
B．They acted as the guardians f wisdm and truth.
C．They said Santa Claus culd judge a kid t be gd r bad.
D．They have tld many lies t their children besides Santa Claus.
33．What can be implied in the passage?
A．Parents are capable f making up stries abut Santa Claus.
B．Lies abut Santa Claus can have a negative impact upn children.
C．Stries abut Santa Claus develp children’s trust in their parents.
D．Experts think it right t make children believe in Father Christmas.
34．Why are adults fnd f watching fictinal mvies?
A．They desire t return t the lng-lst childhd.
B．Everything will becme better in mvies than in real life.
C．They want t get away frm pressure frm life and wrk.
D．They didn’t watch such exciting mvies when they were yung.
35．What is the authr’s attitude tward parents’ lying abut Santa Claus?
A．Psitive.B．Indifferent.C．Disappinted.D．Cncerned.

Stare at a blank wall in any rm, and yu are unlikely t learn much mre than the paint clr.

This tl culd gather infrmatin frm a partial view f a space. It can spy n activity frm arund a crner. 37
As peple mve arund a rm, their bdies blck a prtin f any available light t create subtle and indistinct “sft shadws” n walls. 38 But these faint signals are usually drwned ut by the main surce f surrunding light. Sharma and ther researchers separated that main surce f surrunding light by filming a wall in a rm as its ccupants mved arund and averaging the frames ver time. Then the researchers remved shadws frm furniture r ther still bjects frm the vide in real time, nly revealing humans’ mving shadws n the wall.
39 They cruched, jumped r mved arund, alne r in pairs, utside the camera’s view. Then the team fed the vides int a machine-learning mdel t teach it which sft shadw patterns indicated which behavir. The resulting system can autmatically analyze ftage f a blank wall in any rm in real time, determining the number f peple and their actins.
40 It can register nly grup sizes and activities fr which it has been trained, and it requires a high-reslutin (清晰度) camera; a standard digital camera creates t much backgrund nise, and smartphne camera results are even wrse.
A．The technlgy is thught advanced.
B．These can’t be detected by the human eye.
C．Brightly clred clthing can even cast a dull, reflected light.
D．It als can mnitr smene wh avids a camera’s line f sight.
E．Next, researchers recrded blank walls with peple in varius scenaris.
F．The system is cnsidered a unique and wnderful discvery by camera specialists.
G．Althugh this system can functin in any rm, it perfrms prly in dim lighting.

She was heartbrken and I felt my wn thrat tighten as I sensed her disappintment. I asked her if she had talked t her dad abut it yet.
She lifted her head frm her hands and tld me that her father said thse caches were wrng. “My father said they just did nt understand the pwer f a dream.” “Crace,” I said, “What yur father tld yu is right. Nthing culd stp yu except ne thing– yur wn attitude.” Lking directly int my eyes, she said, “Yu’re right. I’m nt ging t let this stp me.” She gt up and walked back twards the curt. I watched as she picked up the basketball and began t sht again. She cntinued t wrk hard and believed in herself. In the end, she received a full schlarship t play cllege basketball and became ne f the best players n her team. She made me firmly believe if the dream is big enugh, the facts dn’t cunt.
