"established"作为过去分词，修饰"tur rutes"，需要用过去完成时态，表示在过去某一时间已经建立了这些路线。句意为：先驱性的非裔美国人是最早的洞穴向导，他们发现了一些近期被发现的通道 - 史蒂芬·毕晓普是一名奴隶，从1838年到1856年在洞穴中工作，并越过了一个称为“无底洞”的可怕峭壁，探索了地图未标明的地下区域。虽然当时没有得到承认，但像毕晓普这样的先驱帮助引发了洞穴探险的黄金时代。
29.which
"which"引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面提到的"eyeless cavefish"，起进一步解释说明作用。句意为：这个洞穴支持130多种野生动物物种，如眼盲洞穴鱼，它们适应了无光环境而不再生长眼睛，还有洞穴小龙虾等。

Persistently engaging in negative thinking patterns may raise the risk f Alzheimer’s disease, finds a new UCL-led study.
In the study f peple aged ver 55, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia, researchers fund ‘repetitive negative thinking’ (RNT) is linked t subsequent cgnitive decline as well as the depsitin (沉积) f harmful brain prteins linked t Alzheimer’s.
Lead authr Dr Natalie Marchant (UCL Psychiatry) said: “Depressin and anxiety in mid-life and ld age are already knwn t be risk factrs fr dementia（痴呆）. Here, we fund that certain thinking patterns implicated in depressin and anxiety culd be an underlying reasn why peple with thse disrders are mre likely t develp dementia.
“We hpe that ur findings culd be used t develp strategies t lwer peple’s risk f dementia by helping them t reduce their negative thinking patterns.”
Fr the Alzheimer’s Sciety-supprted study, the research team frm UCL, INSERM and McGill University studied 292 peple ver the age f 55 wh were part f the PREVENT-AD chrt study, and a further 68 peple frm the IMAP+ chrt.
Over a perid f tw years, the study participants respnded t questins abut hw they typically think abut negative experiences, fcusing n RNT patterns like ruminatin (沉思) abut the past and wrry abut the future. The participants als cmpleted measures f depressin and anxiety symptms.
Their cgnitive functin was assessed, measuring memry, attentin, spatial cgnitin, and language. Sme (113) f the participants als underwent PET brain scans, measuring depsits f tau and amylid, tw prteins which cause the mst cmmn type f dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, when they build up in the brain.
The researchers fund that peple wh exhibited higher RNT patterns experienced mre cgnitive decline ver a fur-year perid, and declines in memry (which is amng the earlier signs f Alzheimer’s disease), and they were mre likely t have amylid and tau depsits in their brain.
“We prpse that repetitive negative thinking may be a new risk factr fr dementia as it culd cntribute t dementia in a unique way,” said Dr Marchant.
The researchers suggest that RNT may cntribute t Alzheimer’s risk via its impact n indicatrs f stress such as high bld pressure, as ther studies have fund that physilgical stress can cntribute t amylid and tau depsitin.
C-authr Dr Gael Chételat cmmented: “Our thughts can have a bilgical impact n ur physical health, which might be psitive r negative. Mental training practices such as meditatin might help prmting psitive- while dwn-regulating negative-assciated mental schemes.
“Lking after yur mental health is imprtant, and it shuld be a majr public health pririty, as it’s nt nly imprtant fr peple’s health and well-being in the shrt term, but it culd als impact yur eventual risk f dementia.”

A. thinking apprach imprvement in later years
B. later cgnitive decline and the depsit f harmful brain prteins.
C. anxiety disrders which ccurs in females slely
D. individuals f yunger age, which is turning int a trend

Zin Natinal Park in Utah has plenty f trails, but Angels Landing may be the mst breathtaking. Picture this. Yu begin the hike n the wide and well-maintained West Rim Trail. It fllws the river and then crsses the bttm f the canyn, surrunded by 270-millin-year-ld layers f rck. Relaxing, right? Just wait fr it. The trail then starts t climb via a series f switchbacks (急转弯) leading up the side f the muntain. Then mre switchbacks: 21 tighter turns, called “Walter’s Wiggles,” where elevatin levels rapidly increase. Yur heartbeat is prbably rapidly increasing at this pint, t.
On tp f Walter’s Wiggles, yu can stp fr a stunning view (perhaps with a marriage prpsal) and a restrm stp while yu cntemplate (仔细考虑) the final stretch f the hike. If yu’re afraid f heights, it’s best t turn back nw. The last stretch is the real test f bravery.
The last half mile f the hike is what really ranks it as ne f the natin’s mst dangerus. Angels Landing itself is a fin-like frmatin jutting（突出）1,500 feet ut f the canyn, and this is where yu make the final 500-ft climb. Guardrails and chains blted（拴住）int the cliff help yu keep frm tumbling ver the extremely steep ledge. Yu’re literally living n the edge, and yu dn’t want t trust the “angels” dwn there t catch yu. Once yu reach the tp, hwever, it’ll all be wrth it: 360-degree views f the canyn make a great backdrp fr kicking back and having a meal befre yu cme back dwn the way yu came.
Angels Landing might be dangerus, but thankfully, nt t many peple have had fatal falls. Accrding t the park website, seven peple have died in the 100 years the park has existed. Still, this is a very vigrus hike. If yu’re ut f shape, bringing yung children alng, feel ill r prne t fainting, r are just plain afraid f heights, pt fr an easier trail.
Angel’s Landing is a great hike fr mst f the year, besides the cld winter mnths when the trails culd becme dangerusly slippery. Summer is the mst ppular time f year — and therefre the mst crwded — but it can als get extremely ht, s pt fr an early mrning hike while the temperatures are still mild.
Sure, it’s dangerus, but there’s a reasn this is ne f Zin ‘s mst ppular hikes. If yu’re up fr the challenge, Angels Landing will definitely deliver rewards.

The rate f childhd besity in the U.S. has tripled ver the past 50 years. But what this trend means fr children’s lng-term health, and what t d abut it (if anything), is nt s clear.
The American Academy f Pediatrics (AAP) made waves this year by recmmending that dctrs put bese kids as yung as tw years ld n intensive, family-riented lifestyle and behavir plans. (67) ________________________________ This advice marks a shift frm the rganizatin’s previus stance f “watch and wait,” and it reflects the AAP’s belief that besity is a disease and the grup’s adptin f a mre practive psitin n childhd besity.
Yet the lifestyle prgrams the AAP recmmends are expensive, inaccessible t mst children and hard t maintain — and the guidelines acknwledge these barriers. Few weight-lss drugs have been apprved fr lder children, althugh many are used ff-label. (68) ________________________________ And surgery, while becming mre cmmn, has inherent risks and few lng-term safety data — it culd, fr instance, cause nutritinal deficits in grwing children. Furthermre, it’s nt clear whether interventins in yungsters help t imprve health r merely add t the stigma verweight kids face frm a fat-phbic sciety. This stigma can lead t mental health prblems and eating disrders.
Rather than fixating n numbers n a scale, the U.S. and cuntries with similar trends shuld fcus n an underlying truth: we need t invest in mre and safer places fr children t play where they can mve and run arund, climb and jump, ride and skate.
(69) ________________________________ In 2020 the Centers fr Disease Cntrl and Preventin fund, unsurprisingly, that kids’ sprts participatin increases with their parents’ incmes: abut 70 percent f kids whse families earn mre than $105,000 a year participate in sprts, but nly 51 percent f middle-class kids and 31 percent f children at r belw the pverty line d. This disparity hurts peple f clr the mst. Mre than 60 percent f white children, fr instance, participate in athletics, but nly 42 percent f Black children and 47 percent f Hispanic children d. Experts blame these prblems n the privatizatin f sprts—as public investment in schl-based athletics dwindles, expensive private leagues have grwn, leaving many kids ut.
Accrding t the U.S. Department f Health and Human Services’ Physical Activity Guidelines fr Americans, children between ages six and 17 shuld get at least an hur f mderate t intense physical activity every day. Yet nly 21 t 28 percent f U.S. kids meet this target, tw gvernment-spnsred surveys fund. The nnprfit Active Healthy Kids Glbal Alliance evaluates physical activity in American children, and in 2022 the grup gave the U.S. a grade f D–.
Why is it s hard t get kids mving? In additin t fewer pprtunities at schl, researchers cite increased screen time, changing nrms arund letting kids play utdrs unsupervised, and a lack f safe places fr them t play utside the hme.
New Yrk City, fr example, had 2,067 public playgrunds as f 2019 — a “meager” amunt fr its large ppulatin, accrding t a reprt frm the city cmptrller — and inspectrs fund hazardus equipment at ne quarter f them. In Ls Angeles in 2015, nly 33 percent f yuths lived within walking distance f a park, accrding t the L.A. Neighbrhd Land Trust. Lwer-incme neighbrhds tend t have the fewest public play spaces, despite ften having a high ppulatin density. (70) ________________________________.
Kids everywhere need mre places t play: trails, skate parks and climbing walls, gardens and ball fields, bike paths and basketball curts. Vigrus public funding t build and keep up these areas is crucial, but ther ptins such as shared-use agreements can make unused spaces available t the public.

IV. Summary Writing
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
There are many reasns why sme cats are bad-tempered; their temperament can be influenced by their upbringing r they are simply brn that way. Hwever, even the sweetest, mst affectinate cats can suddenly becme bad-tempered and behave ut f character. Accrding t veterinarian Dr Katrina Warren, the prblem can generally be slved, but yu’ll need t lk fr underlying issues.
Changes in a cat’s behaviur can ften be explained by a health prblem. Pain can cause cats t behave very differently, and it’s easy t mistake a prblem as behaviural, when in fact it is medical. Shuld yu bserve a significant change in yur cat’s behaviur, then a visit t the vet is the best place t start? Watch ut fr changes in eating, drinking r litter-bx habits. Als hiding and aviding being tuched. Be sure t reprt all changes t yur vet. There are many cat health prblems that can be readily treated t ease symptms and pain fr yur cat.
It pays t remember that cats dn’t like t share r queue. Sharing f ‘resurces’ such as litter trays and fdbwls can cause stress and anxiety fr many cats. It’s always a gd idea t prvide each cat with their wn litter bx, fd, water bwls and bed as a minimum. One litter bx fr each cat plus a spare is even better, as are multiple sleeping spts and extra scratching psts. A lack f space t hide frm r avid ther cats, cmpetitin fr territry and lack f individual attentin can als add t husehld frictin. If yur cat is feeling anxius, ffering it an elevated place t sit, such as a climbing tree, can be helpful.
Mving t a new huse, the arrival f a new baby, new pets and ther types f change can seriusly impact cat behaviur. Cats are creatures f habit and tend t be territrial, s a change in rutine may cause them t react in a number f ways, including withdrawal r aggressin. Try t keep yur cat’s envirnment as calm as pssible and make sure there are places where they feel safe. Smetimes cnfining them t a single rm with a litter bx, bedding and hme cmfrts can help them t settle.
Sme cats simply d nt like being tuched and handled. These are ften cats that received limited scialisatin with humans when they were kittens. These cats d best in a quiet husehld withut children and need understanding and patience t help build their cnfidence.
参考答案1：
Cats’temperament is linked t their upbringing r innate traits. Health issues may als affect behavir, requiring vet attentin. Stress frm sharing resurces like litter trays is highlighted, suggesting individual essentials. Envirnmental changes, like mving r having new cmers, can impact cats, urging a calm envirnment. Cats nt liking tuch might stem frm limited scializatin, needing patience in quiet hmes.
参考答案2：
Cats' temperaments can change due t health, lack f space r resurces, envirnment, and scializatin. A vet visit is necessary fr significant behavir changes. Prviding individual resurces, such as litter bxes, fd bwls, and beds, alng with scratching psts and perches, can reduce stress. Patience and understanding are essential fr cats uncmfrtable with tuch.

Firstly, let's cmpare a Chinese traditinal festival with a Western ne. Taking the Spring Festival and Christmas as examples, the Spring Festival is China's paramunt traditinal celebratin, symblizing new beginnings, family reunins, and a prfund emphasis n family values. In cntrast, Christmas in the West places a greater emphasis n gift exchanges and a cmmercial atmsphere, highlighting persnal enjyment and festivities.
In my view, traditinal Chinese culture is a vast and prfund treasure trve. It encmpasses nt nly rituals and custms but als prfund cntemplatins n life, nature, and interpersnal relatinships. Traditinal Chinese values, centered arund family, filial piety, and harmny, have instilled in me a mral cmpass. Thrugh traditinal festivals, I've learned the imprtance f respecting elders and cherishing family, invaluable lessns shaping my grwth.
In tday's sciety, the cmparisn between Chinese and Western cultures has deepened my understanding f the uniqueness f traditinal Chinese culture. It's crucial t cntinue prmting the values embedded in ur traditins, fstering a mre harmnius and civilized sciety.
