Science in Images
Oyster mushrm
Oyster mushrms feature in cuisines arund the wrld, but they shuld be ff the menu fr hungry wrms -- which these delicius mushrms will kill and eat. Nw researchers finally knw hw they d it.
A study published in Science Advances details hw yster mushrms use a particular pisnus substance t freeze and get rid f mushrm-eating rundwrms called nematdes (线虫). The mushrms, which grw n nutrient-pr dead wd, then 31 the wrms fr nutritin.
“Nematdes happen t be the mst 32 animals these mushrms encunter. S I think, 33 , this crss-kingdm interactin is very interesting,” says study senir authr.
The study team f geneticists, bichemists and bilgists had previusly fund that yster mushrms release an unidentified pisnus substance that will smehw 34 the wrms within minutes and cause a chemical element t flw int their cells, killing them. This 35 differs frm thse used by ther meat-eating mushrms and culd be unique t yster mushrms.
Fr their new wrk, the researchers grew and analyzed samples f the mushrm’s tissue, finding n nticeable pisn even when they brke it up. They reasned that whatever was killing the wrms must be a kind f 36 cmpund that disappears int air when disturbed. When they damaged the yster mushrm tissue again and 37 analyzed the nearby air, they finally fund a nerve gas that turned ut t be cntained with tiny, special-shaped structures n the mushrm surface. When nematdes tuch the mushrms, these structures 38 their gas, disturbing the wrms’ cell walls t cause immbility and death. The wrm is then digested by the mushrms.
Befre this study, “we underestimated the 39 t which wild mushrms defend against r cnsume nematdes,” ntes Nick Talbt, a geneticist at Sainsbury Labratry in Nrwich, England. The study demnstrates “a very 40 apprach,” he adds. “These rganisms are really difficult t wrk n, and Dr. Hsueh is shwing that yu can d sme really amazing wrk with them.”
III. Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
In the middle f 2023, a study cnducted by the HuthLab at the University f Texas sent shckwaves thrugh the fields f neurscience (神经科学) and technlgy. Fr the first time, the thughts and impressins f peple 41 t cmmunicate with the utside wrld were translated int cntinuus natural language, using a cmbinatin f artificial intelligence (AI) and brain imaging technlgy. This is the clsest science has yet cme t 42 smene’s mind.
Lsing the ability t cmmunicate is a deep cut t ne’s sense f self. 43 this ability gives the patient greater cntrl ver their lives. But it culd als give ther entities, such as crpratins, researchers and ther third parties, a(n) 44 degree f insight int, r even cntrl ver, the lives f patients. The NeurRights Fundatin, based at Clumbia University in New Yrk, argues that new rights surrunding neurtechnlgies will be 45 fr all humans t preserve their privacy, identity, and free will. The ptential 46 f disabled patients makes this a particularly imprtant prblem.
47 this apprach, Chile was the first cuntry that adpted legislatin, drafting new laws, t address the risks f neurtechnlgy. It nt nly intrduced a new cnstitutinal right t mental 48 , but is als in the prcess f adpting a bill that bans selling neurdata, and frces all neurtech devices t be regulated as medical devices, even thse intended fr the general cnsumer.
The prpsed legislatin recgnizes the intensely 49 nature f neural data and cnsiders it as rgan tissues, which cannt be bught r sld, nly dnated. But this legislatin has als faced 50 , with legal schlars questining the need fr new rights and pinting ut that it culd discurage beneficial brain research fr disabled patients.
While the legal actin taken by Chile is the mst impactful and 51 t date, ther cuntries are cnsidering updating existing laws t face the new develpments in neurtechnlgies.
And while it is likely that the first applicatins f neurtech will be medical, future 52 are likely t invlve cnsumer applicatins such as entertainment, as well as fr military and security purpses. The grwing 53 f neurtechnlgy in a cmmercial cntext nly causes mre legal cncerns.
Different peple, scieties, and cultures will disagree n where t draw the line. We are at a(n) 54 stage f technlgical develpment. And as we begin t uncver the great ptential f brain science, the need t cnsider their implicatins fr legal actin becmes mre 55 .

Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
I used t think I was a gd persn. I was caring t my friends, my partner, my family; I gave t charity and I vlunteered. But when I started training t becme a therapist (治疗师), I began t understand that hwever much we might like t think f urselves as gd peple, we dn’t actually knw urselves very well. I learned abut hw we might, withut cnsciusly realizing it, deny the feelings and mtivatins we cnsider t be bad, pushing them dwn int ur uncnscius and prjecting them ut n t thers, s they becme the bad peple. I learned that deep in the human mind, alngside lve and kindness, run currents f anger, need, greed, envy, destructiveness, superirity—whether we want t acknwledge them r nt.
It was 22-year-ld Bru wh taught me what it really means t be a gd grwn up. We first spke tw years ag. He was unemplyed, living with his parents, watching his friends’ lives prgress. A gd grwn-up, he tld me, is “smene wh has his ducks in a rw”—and that wasn’t him.
I als didn’t feel like the cmpetent, cnfident grwn-up I thught I shuld be—and neither did mst f the adults I knew. I researched statistics abut peple hitting the traditinal landmarks f adulthd later and later, if at all—frm buying a hme t getting married r starting a family. I recgnized what made me feel like a bad grwn-up: that I’ll sit with a brken fridge rather than call an engineer t repair it.
Then I saw Bru again. He tld me hw, ver tw years, he’d fund a jb he lves, rented a flat with a friend. He’s nw cycling rund the wrld, having adventures that will keep him strng fr the rest f his life. S what changed? “Yu start t have thse cnversatins with yurself, and yu becme mre f an hnest persn. I dn’t feel like I’m hiding frm anything anymre, because I’m nt hiding frm myself.”
I think grwing up must invlve finding yur wn way t have thse cnversatins. Bru des it n his bike, I d it in psychanalysis, thers I spke t d it while cking r playing music. That, fr Bru, and fr me, is what it means t “have his ducks in a rw”.
56. What des the first paragraph imply abut understanding urselves?
A. Recgnizing ur psitive traits is enugh fr grwth.
B. Our understanding f ur mtives and feelings is accurate.
C. True self-awareness means accepting bth gd and bad sides.
D. Ignring ur negative traits des nt affect ur self-perceptin.
57. What critical lessn did the authr learn frm Bru abut being a gd grwn-up?
A. It invlves having a clear career path and financial stability.
B. It requires cnstant self-imprvement and educatin.
C. It means being emplyed and living independently.
D. It is like a jurney f self-discvery and hnesty.
58. What des the authr identify as a reasn fr feeling like an inadequate adult?
A. Escaping basic respnsibilities.
B. Delaying reaching traditinal life milestnes.
C. Cmparing persnal achievements t thers.
D. Investigating changing patterns f adult life.
59. Which f the fllwing might be the best title f the passage?
A. Why Hide Harms
B. Hw t Be Better Adults
C. Why Grwing up Matters
D. Hw t Have Effective Cnversatins

Pricing is managers’ biggest marketing headache. It’s where they feel the mst pressure t perfrm and the least certain that they are ding a gd jb. All successful pricing effrts share tw qualities: The plicy cmbines well with the cmpany’s verall marketing strategy, and the prcess is well-rganized as a whle.
A cmpany’s pricing plicy sends a message t the market—it gives custmers an imprtant sense f a cmpany’s philsphy. Cnsider Saturn Crpratin (a whlly wned cmpany f General Mtrs). Saturn wants t let cnsumers knw that it is friendly and easy t d business with. Part f this cncept is cnveyed thrugh initiatives such as inviting custmers t the factry t see where the cars are made and spnsring evenings at the dealership that cmbine a scial event with training n car maintenance. But Saturn’s pricing plicy sends a strng message as well. Can a friendly, trusting relatinship be established with custmers if a salespersn uses all the negtiating tricks in the bk t try t separate them frm that last $100? Of curse nt. Saturn has a “n hassle, n haggle” plicy which remves the pssibility f cnflicts between dealer and ptential custmer. Custmers have an easier time buying a car knwing that the next persn in the dr wn’t negtiate a better deal.
Of curse, there are typically many participants in the pricing prcess: Accunting prvides cst estimates; marketing cmmunicates the pricing strategy; sales prvides specific custmer input; prductin sets supply bundaries; and finance establishes the requirements fr the entire cmpany’s financial health. Input frm diverse surces is necessary. Hwever, prblems arise when the philsphy f wide participatin is carried ver t the price-setting prcess withut strng crdinating mechanisms (协调机制). Fr example, if the marketing department sets list prices, the salespeple negtiate discunts in the field, the legal department adjusts prices if necessary t prevent breaking the laws r cntractual agreements, and the peple filling rders negtiate price adjustments fr delays in shipment, everybdy’s best intentins usually end up bringing abut less than the best results. In fact, the cmpany may actually lse mney n sme rders.
63. Why is it essential fr a cmpany’s pricing plicy t cmbine with its verall marketing strategy?
A. T maximize pssible returns and prfits.
B. T maintain cnsistency in business peratins.
C. T eliminate the need fr diverse sales inputs.
D. T attract custmers t scial events and trainings.
64. What des Saturn’s “n hassle, n haggle” plicy (paragraph 2) mst prbably mean?
A. Saturn trains its dealers t treat custmers sincerely.
B. Saturn ffers discunts t sme lyal custmers.
C. Saturn cars are at least $100 cheaper than ther cars.
D. Saturn cars are sld at fixed, nn-negtiable prices.
65. What can be inferred frm the wide participatin in the pricing prcess?
A. Decisin making requires gathering cmprehensive infrmatin.
B. The crdinating mechanism wn’t wrk withut a lt f input.
C. Ptential custmers are easily upset at any stage f the prcess.
D. The cmpany lses mney unless everyne intends fr the best.
66. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr this passage?
A. The art f crdinating pricing prcesses
B. The best sales negtiatin techniques
C. Getting ne step clser tward better pricing
D. Maximizing prfits thrugh pricing plicies
Sectin C
Directins: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
Yur Life Is Better Than Yu Think
The undeniable ppularity f self-help bks, wellness pdcasts, and happiness wrkshps reflects the cnstant human desire t make life better. 67
While we may have a lving family, a gd place t live, and a decent jb, we ften fail t ntice thse things. It’s nt because we are ungrateful r stupid, but it’s because f a basic feature f ur brain, knwn as habituatin.
Habituatin is the tendency f neurns t fire less and less in respnse t things that are cnstant. Yu enter a rm filled with rses and after a shrt while, yu cannt detect their scent any lnger; and just as yu get used t the smell f fresh flwers, yu als get used t a lving relatinship, t a prmtin, t a nice hme, t a wnderful wrk f art. Like the frnt page f a daily newspaper, yur brain cares abut what recently changed, nt abut what remained the same. 68 Yu habituate t it—yu fail t ntice and respnd t elements f yur life which yu previusly fund amazing.
69 That is, yu can suddenly start perceiving and respnding t things t which yu have becme desensitized.
The key is taking small breaks frm yur daily life. Fr example, when peple return hme frm a lng business trip, they ften find their ld life has “reshined.” Ordinary things suddenly seem amazing. If smething is cnstant, we ften assume (perhaps uncnsciusly) that it is there t stay, and as a result, we fcus ur attentin and effrt n the next thing n ur list. 70 If it is gd at its cre, it may just reshine. This is why time away, hwever shrt, will enable yu t perceive yur life with fresh eyes—and t break up reality.

71. Why Ear-wrms Get Stuck in Yur Head
We all get a sensatin when a sng, fr n apparent reasn, refuses t leave yur head – in fact we’re n strangers t the dreaded “ear-wrm.” But a new study published in Psychlgy f Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts reveals a fascinating insight int ear-wrms, and why sme sngs are better than thers in sticking in ur heads by investigating the actual elements f the sng that make it catchy in the first place.
T d this, mst frequent ear-wrms f the participants were entered int a database and cmpared t sngs that had never been reprted as an ear-wrm at all. The meldic features f the tunes were then analyzed, revealing that ear-wrm tunes were typically thse sngs that have verall meldic shapes cmmn in Western pp music. A classic example f a cmmn cntur（音调的升降曲线）pattern is heard in Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, where the first phrase rises in pitch and the secnd falls. This makes the tune easy t remember and has been explited in many ther nursery rhymes, but als in pp music.
In additin t the meldic shape, the ther ingredient t the ear-wrm frmula is the unusual interval structure. The aim f this is t surpass the listener’s expectatins f an average pp sng, shwing unexpected leaps r mre repeated ntes than usual. “Our findings shw that yu can, t sme extent, predict which sngs are ging t get stuck in peple’s heads based n the sng’s meldic cntent,” says ne f the researchers, “This culd help sng-writers r advertisers write a jingle（短歌）everyne will remember fr days r mnths afterwards.”
The authrs cnclude that studies f ear-wrms can help explain hw the brain wrks, and imprve ur understanding in hw perceptin, emtins, memry and spntaneus thughts behave in different peple.

When yu hear a questin, read the fur pssible answers n yur paper and decide which ne wuld be the best answer t the questin yu have heard.
Questins 11 thrugh 13 are based n the fllwing passage.
Have yu ever heard smene describe themselves as an INTJ r an ESTP and wndered what thse mysterius letters culd mean? What these peple are referring t is their persnality type based n the Myers-Briggs /ˈmaɪəz brɪgz/ Type Indicatr, r MBTI.
The MBTI is a self-reprt list f questins designed t identify a persn’s persnality type, strengths, and preferences. It was develped by Isabel Myers and her mther Katherine Briggs based n their wrk with the thery f persnality types. Based n the answers t the questins n the MBTI, peple are identified as having ne f 16 persnality types. The gal f the MBTI is t allw respndents t further explre and understand their wn persnalities including their likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, and pssible career preferences. N ne persnality type is “best” r “better” than anther. It isn’t a tl designed t lk fr abnrmality. Instead, its gal is simply t help yu learn mre abut yurself.
Despite the fact that thusands f studies using the MBTI have been published ver the decades, sme researchers questin the reliability f its results. That said, the MBTI remains ne f the mst widely-recgnized persnality tests glbally fr its simplicity, ease f use and lngstanding histry as a wrkplace tl.

Muntain grillas, which are very large mnkeys, are fund in the frests f Cng, Uganda and Rwanda /ruːˈɑːndə/. They have faced multiple threats t their survival ver the last 120 years. Due t illegal hunting, habitat lss and human-transferred illnesses, there were nly arund 600 left by 1989. Tday, that number has increased t mre than 1000—thanks in part t the wrk f wildlife dctr Gladys Kalema. /ˈɡlædɪs/ /kəˈleɪmə/
When Kalema /kəˈleɪmə/ began her career with the Uganda Wildlife Authrity in 1996, she treated muntain grillas suffering frm a deadly frm f disease that they had picked up frm humans living in dirty cnditins near the frests. “I realised that yu cannt prtect the grillas withut imprving the health f their human neighburs,” she says.
In 2003, Kalema funded an rganisatin called Cnservatin Thrugh Public Health, CTPH in shrt, which addresses the physical and ecnmic wellbeing f the lcal Batwa peple wh live in the frests. The rganisatin teaches health, cnservatin awareness and prvides ecnmic pprtunities fr families that wuld therwise turn t illegal hunting. Kalema, wh last year received a United Natins Champin f the Earth Award, said: “We’re shwing peple that we dn’t care nly abut wild animals and the frest. We als care abut them.”

Science in Images
Oyster mushrm
Oyster mushrms feature in cuisines arund the wrld, but they shuld be ff the menu fr hungry wrms -- which these delicius mushrms will kill and eat. Nw researchers finally knw hw they d it.
A study published in Science Advances details hw yster mushrms use a particular pisnus substance t freeze and get rid f mushrm-eating rundwrms called nematdes (线虫). The mushrms, which grw n nutrient-pr dead wd, then 31 the wrms fr nutritin.
“Nematdes happen t be the mst 32 animals these mushrms encunter. S I think, 33 , this crss-kingdm interactin is very interesting,” says study senir authr.
The study team f geneticists, bichemists and bilgists had previusly fund that yster mushrms release an unidentified pisnus substance that will smehw 34 the wrms within minutes and cause a chemical element t flw int their cells, killing them. This 35 differs frm thse used by ther meat-eating mushrms and culd be unique t yster mushrms.
Fr their new wrk, the researchers grew and analyzed samples f the mushrm’s tissue, finding n nticeable pisn even when they brke it up. They reasned that whatever was killing the wrms must be a kind f 36 cmpund that disappears int air when disturbed. When they damaged the yster mushrm tissue again and 37 analyzed the nearby air, they finally fund a nerve gas that turned ut t be cntained with tiny, special-shaped structures n the mushrm surface. When nematdes tuch the mushrms, these structures 38 their gas, disturbing the wrms’ cell walls t cause immbility and death. The wrm is then digested by the mushrms.
Befre this study, “we underestimated the 39 t which wild mushrms defend against r cnsume nematdes,” ntes Nick Talbt, a geneticist at Sainsbury Labratry in Nrwich, England. The study demnstrates “a very 40 apprach,” he adds. “These rganisms are really difficult t wrk n, and Dr. Hsueh is shwing that yu can d sme really amazing wrk with them.”
III. Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
In the middle f 2023, a study cnducted by the HuthLab at the University f Texas sent shckwaves thrugh the fields f neurscience (神经科学) and technlgy. Fr the first time, the thughts and impressins f peple 41 t cmmunicate with the utside wrld were translated int cntinuus natural language, using a cmbinatin f artificial intelligence (AI) and brain imaging technlgy. This is the clsest science has yet cme t 42 smene’s mind.
Lsing the ability t cmmunicate is a deep cut t ne’s sense f self. 43 this ability gives the patient greater cntrl ver their lives. But it culd als give ther entities, such as crpratins, researchers and ther third parties, a(n) 44 degree f insight int, r even cntrl ver, the lives f patients. The NeurRights Fundatin, based at Clumbia University in New Yrk, argues that new rights surrunding neurtechnlgies will be 45 fr all humans t preserve their privacy, identity, and free will. The ptential 46 f disabled patients makes this a particularly imprtant prblem.
47 this apprach, Chile was the first cuntry that adpted legislatin, drafting new laws, t address the risks f neurtechnlgy. It nt nly intrduced a new cnstitutinal right t mental 48 , but is als in the prcess f adpting a bill that bans selling neurdata, and frces all neurtech devices t be regulated as medical devices, even thse intended fr the general cnsumer.
The prpsed legislatin recgnizes the intensely 49 nature f neural data and cnsiders it as rgan tissues, which cannt be bught r sld, nly dnated. But this legislatin has als faced 50 , with legal schlars questining the need fr new rights and pinting ut that it culd discurage beneficial brain research fr disabled patients.
While the legal actin taken by Chile is the mst impactful and 51 t date, ther cuntries are cnsidering updating existing laws t face the new develpments in neurtechnlgies.
And while it is likely that the first applicatins f neurtech will be medical, future 52 are likely t invlve cnsumer applicatins such as entertainment, as well as fr military and security purpses. The grwing 53 f neurtechnlgy in a cmmercial cntext nly causes mre legal cncerns.
Different peple, scieties, and cultures will disagree n where t draw the line. We are at a(n) 54 stage f technlgical develpment. And as we begin t uncver the great ptential f brain science, the need t cnsider their implicatins fr legal actin becmes mre 55 .

(A)
I used t think I was a gd persn. I was caring t my friends, my partner, my family; I gave t charity and I vlunteered. But when I started training t becme a therapist (治疗师), I began t understand that hwever much we might like t think f urselves as gd peple, we dn’t actually knw urselves very well. I learned abut hw we might, withut cnsciusly realizing it, deny the feelings and mtivatins we cnsider t be bad, pushing them dwn int ur uncnscius and prjecting them ut n t thers, s they becme the bad peple. I learned that deep in the human mind, alngside lve and kindness, run currents f anger, need, greed, envy, destructiveness, superirity—whether we want t acknwledge them r nt.
It was 22-year-ld Bru wh taught me what it really means t be a gd grwn up. We first spke tw years ag. He was unemplyed, living with his parents, watching his friends’ lives prgress. A gd grwn-up, he tld me, is “smene wh has his ducks in a rw”—and that wasn’t him.
I als didn’t feel like the cmpetent, cnfident grwn-up I thught I shuld be—and neither did mst f the adults I knew. I researched statistics abut peple hitting the traditinal landmarks f adulthd later and later, if at all—frm buying a hme t getting married r starting a family. I recgnized what made me feel like a bad grwn-up: that I’ll sit with a brken fridge rather than call an engineer t repair it.
Then I saw Bru again. He tld me hw, ver tw years, he’d fund a jb he lves, rented a flat with a friend. He’s nw cycling rund the wrld, having adventures that will keep him strng fr the rest f his life. S what changed? “Yu start t have thse cnversatins with yurself, and yu becme mre f an hnest persn. I dn’t feel like I’m hiding frm anything anymre, because I’m nt hiding frm myself.”
I think grwing up must invlve finding yur wn way t have thse cnversatins. Bru des it n his bike, I d it in psychanalysis, thers I spke t d it while cking r playing music. That, fr Bru, and fr me, is what it means t “have his ducks in a rw”.
56. What des the first paragraph imply abut understanding urselves?
A. Recgnizing ur psitive traits is enugh fr grwth.
B. Our understanding f ur mtives and feelings is accurate.
C. True self-awareness means accepting bth gd and bad sides.
D. Ignring ur negative traits des nt affect ur self-perceptin.
57. What critical lessn did the authr learn frm Bru abut being a gd grwn-up?
A. It invlves having a clear career path and financial stability.
B. It requires cnstant self-imprvement and educatin.
C. It means being emplyed and living independently.
D. It is like a jurney f self-discvery and hnesty.
58. What des the authr identify as a reasn fr feeling like an inadequate adult?
A. Escaping basic respnsibilities.
B. Delaying reaching traditinal life milestnes.
C. Cmparing persnal achievements t thers.
D. Investigating changing patterns f adult life.
59. Which f the fllwing might be the best title f the passage?
A. Why Hide Harms
B. Hw t Be Better Adults
C. Why Grwing up Matters
D. Hw t Have Effective Cnversatins
(B)

A cmpany’s pricing plicy sends a message t the market—it gives custmers an imprtant sense f a cmpany’s philsphy. Cnsider Saturn Crpratin (a whlly wned cmpany f General Mtrs). Saturn wants t let cnsumers knw that it is friendly and easy t d business with. Part f this cncept is cnveyed thrugh initiatives such as inviting custmers t the factry t see where the cars are made and spnsring evenings at the dealership that cmbine a scial event with training n car maintenance. But Saturn’s pricing plicy sends a strng message as well. Can a friendly, trusting relatinship be established with custmers if a salespersn uses all the negtiating tricks in the bk t try t separate them frm that last $100? Of curse nt. Saturn has a “n hassle, n haggle” plicy which remves the pssibility f cnflicts between dealer and ptential custmer. Custmers have an easier time buying a car knwing that the next persn in the dr wn’t negtiate a better deal.
Of curse, there are typically many participants in the pricing prcess: Accunting prvides cst estimates; marketing cmmunicates the pricing strategy; sales prvides specific custmer input; prductin sets supply bundaries; and finance establishes the requirements fr the entire cmpany’s financial health. Input frm diverse surces is necessary. Hwever, prblems arise when the philsphy f wide participatin is carried ver t the price-setting prcess withut strng crdinating mechanisms (协调机制). Fr example, if the marketing department sets list prices, the salespeple negtiate discunts in the field, the legal department adjusts prices if necessary t prevent breaking the laws r cntractual agreements, and the peple filling rders negtiate price adjustments fr delays in shipment, everybdy’s best intentins usually end up bringing abut less than the best results. In fact, the cmpany may actually lse mney n sme rders.
63. Why is it essential fr a cmpany’s pricing plicy t cmbine with its verall marketing strategy?
A. T maximize pssible returns and prfits.
B. T maintain cnsistency in business peratins.
C. T eliminate the need fr diverse sales inputs.
D. T attract custmers t scial events and trainings.

B. Saturn ffers discunts t sme lyal custmers.
C. Saturn cars are at least $100 cheaper than ther cars.
D. Saturn cars are sld at fixed, nn-negtiable prices.
65. What can be inferred frm the wide participatin in the pricing prcess?
A. Decisin making requires gathering cmprehensive infrmatin.
B. The crdinating mechanism wn’t wrk withut a lt f input.

Directins: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
Yur Life Is Better Than Yu Think
The undeniable ppularity f self-help bks, wellness pdcasts, and happiness wrkshps reflects the cnstant human desire t make life better. 67
While we may have a lving family, a gd place t live, and a decent jb, we ften fail t ntice thse things. It’s nt because we are ungrateful r stupid, but it’s because f a basic feature f ur brain, knwn as habituatin.
Habituatin is the tendency f neurns t fire less and less in respnse t things that are cnstant. Yu enter a rm filled with rses and after a shrt while, yu cannt detect their scent any lnger; and just as yu get used t the smell f fresh flwers, yu als get used t a lving relatinship, t a prmtin, t a nice hme, t a wnderful wrk f art. Like the frnt page f a daily newspaper, yur brain cares abut what recently changed, nt abut what remained the same. 68 Yu habituate t it—yu fail t ntice and respnd t elements f yur life which yu previusly fund amazing.
69 That is, yu can suddenly start perceiving and respnding t things t which yu have becme desensitized.
The key is taking small breaks frm yur daily life. Fr example, when peple return hme frm a lng business trip, they ften find their ld life has “reshined.” Ordinary things suddenly seem amazing. If smething is cnstant, we ften assume (perhaps uncnsciusly) that it is there t stay, and as a result, we fcus ur attentin and effrt n the next thing n ur list. 70 If it is gd at its cre, it may just reshine. This is why time away, hwever shrt, will enable yu t perceive yur life with fresh eyes—and t break up reality.

71. Why Ear-wrms Get Stuck in Yur Head
We all get a sensatin when a sng, fr n apparent reasn, refuses t leave yur head – in fact we’re n strangers t the dreaded “ear-wrm.” But a new study published in Psychlgy f Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts reveals a fascinating insight int ear-wrms, and why sme sngs are better than thers in sticking in ur heads by investigating the actual elements f the sng that make it catchy in the first place.
T d this, mst frequent ear-wrms f the participants were entered int a database and cmpared t sngs that had never been reprted as an ear-wrm at all. The meldic features f the tunes were then analyzed, revealing that ear-wrm tunes were typically thse sngs that have verall meldic shapes cmmn in Western pp music. A classic example f a cmmn cntur（音调的升降曲线）pattern is heard in Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, where the first phrase rises in pitch and the secnd falls. This makes the tune easy t remember and has been explited in many ther nursery rhymes, but als in pp music.
In additin t the meldic shape, the ther ingredient t the ear-wrm frmula is the unusual interval structure. The aim f this is t surpass the listener’s expectatins f an average pp sng, shwing unexpected leaps r mre repeated ntes than usual. “Our findings shw that yu can, t sme extent, predict which sngs are ging t get stuck in peple’s heads based n the sng’s meldic cntent,” says ne f the researchers, “This culd help sng-writers r advertisers write a jingle（短歌）everyne will remember fr days r mnths afterwards.”
The authrs cnclude that studies f ear-wrms can help explain hw the brain wrks, and imprve ur understanding in hw perceptin, emtins, memry and spntaneus thughts behave in different peple.

The MBTI is a self-reprt list f questins designed t identify a persn’s persnality type, strengths, and preferences. It was develped by Isabel Myers and her mther Katherine Briggs based n their wrk with the thery f persnality types. Based n the answers t the questins n the MBTI, peple are identified as having ne f 16 persnality types. The gal f the MBTI is t allw respndents t further explre and understand their wn persnalities including their likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, and pssible career preferences. N ne persnality type is “best” r “better” than anther. It isn’t a tl designed t lk fr abnrmality. Instead, its gal is simply t help yu learn mre abut yurself.
Despite the fact that thusands f studies using the MBTI have been published ver the decades, sme researchers questin the reliability f its results.

Muntain grillas, which are very large mnkeys, are fund in the frests f Cng, Uganda and Rwanda /ruːˈɑːndə/. They have faced multiple threats t their survival ver the last 120 years. Due t illegal hunting, habitat lss and human-transferred illnesses, there were nly arund 600 left by 1989. Tday, that number has increased t mre than 1000—thanks in part t the wrk f wildlife dctr Gladys Kalema. /ˈɡlædɪs/ /kəˈleɪmə/
When Kalema /kəˈleɪmə/ began her career with the Uganda Wildlife Authrity in 1996, she treated muntain grillas suffering frm a deadly frm f disease that they had picked up frm humans living in dirty cnditins near the frests. “I realised that yu cannt prtect the grillas withut imprving the health f their human neighburs,” she says.
In 2003, Kalema funded an rganisatin called Cnservatin Thrugh Public Health, CTPH in shrt, which addresses the physical and ecnmic wellbeing f the lcal Batwa peple wh live in the frests. The rganisatin teaches health, cnservatin awareness and prvides ecnmic pprtunities fr families that wuld therwise turn t illegal hunting.
