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.
Mathematics has an image prblem: far t many peple are put ff by it and cnclude that the subject just isn’t fr them. But ne f the biggest prblems is hw maths is ___41___, as cld and dry.
I have a different apprach which is t relate abstract maths t questins f plitics and scial justice. I have taught fairly maths-phbic (恐惧) art students in this way and have seen their attitudes ___42___. They nw believe maths is ___43___ them and can genuinely help them.
At a basic level, maths is funded n lgic, s when I am teaching lgic, I use examples frm ___44___ events rather than the ld-fashined type f prblem. Instead f studying the lgic f a statement like “all dgs have fur legs”, I might discuss the statement “all immigrants are illegal”.
But I d this with specific mathematical structures, t. ___45___, I teach a type f structure called an rdered set, which is subject t an rder relatin such as “is less than”. We then study and ask which functins are “rder-preserving”. A typical example might be the functin that takes a(n) ___46___ number and maps it t the number btained frm multiplying by 2. We wuld then say that if x < y then als 2x < 2y, s the functin is rder-preserving.
___47___, rather than sticking t this type f dry mathematical example, I intrduce issues like privilege and wealth. If we think f ne rdered set with peple rdered by status, we can make a functin t anther set where the peple are nw rdered by ___48___ instead. If smene has a higher status, are they autmatically wealthier? We can als ask abut wrking hurs and ___49___: if smene wrks mre hurs, d they ___50___ earn mre? The answer there is clearly nt.
My apprach is cntrversial because, traditinally, maths is suppsed t be ___51___ and aplitical (与政治无关的). I have been ___52___ by peple wh think my apprach will be ff-putting (令人烦恼的) t thse wh dn’t care abut scial justice. Hwever, the dry apprach is ff-putting t thse wh d care. In fact, I believe that all academic disciplines shuld address ur mst imprtant issues. Abstract maths is abut making thrugh lgical arguments, which is linked t everything. I dn’t ___53___ that students agree with me abut plitics, but I d ask that they cnstruct thrugh arguments t back up their thughts and develp the crucial ability t analyze the lgic f peple they ___54___.
Maths isn’t just abut numbers and equatins (方程式); it is abut studying different ___55___ systems. We can apply it t balls rlling dwn different hills, but we can als apply it t pressing scial issues. I think we shuld d bth, fr the sake f sciety and t be mre inclusive twards different types f students in maths educatin.

(A)
One summer night in a seaside cttage, a by felt himself lifted frm bed. Then, with the swiftness f a dream, he was held in his father’s arms ut nt the nearby beach. Overhead the sky blazed with stars. “Watch!” Incredibly, as his father spke, ne f the stars mved. In a line f glden fire it flashed acrss the astnished heavens. And befre the wnder f this culd fade, anther star leaped frm its place, then anther, plunging twards the restless sea.
“What’s this?” the child whispered.
“Shting stars. They cme every year n a certain August night. I thught yu’d like t see the shw.”
That was all: just an unexpected glimpse f smething mysterius and beautiful. But, back in bed, the child stared fr a lng time int the dark, knwing that all arund the quiet huse, the night was full f the silent music f the falling stars.
Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the frtunate by whse father believed that a new experience was mre imprtant fr a small by than an unbrken night’s sleep. N dubt I had all the usual childhd entertainment, but thse are frgtten nw.

I remember the thught-prvking (引人深思的) bks left by my bedside that pushed back my hrizns and smetimes actually changed my life.
My father had, t a marvellus degree, the gift f pening drs fr his children, f leading them int areas f splendid newness. This subtle art f adding dimensins t a child’s wrld desn’t necessarily require a great deal f time. It simply invlves ding things mre ften with ur children instead f fr them r t them.

If a scientist sees a unicrn (独角兽), she’ll prbably want t see mre than ne befre telling the wrld abut her discvery. But smetimes ne unicrn is enugh.
In 2007 an astrnmer named Duncan Lrimer reprted finding a new kind f astrnmical event. It was a brief stream f energy s pwerful that it culd reach Earth frm a galaxy billins f light-years away. He called it a fast radi burst (FRB). This remarkable find, if real, culd make huge cntributins t the study abut universe. He predicted there wuld be many mre – but that year, he sptted just ne.
It’s nt unheard f fr ne event t kick ff a whle new field f scientific inquiry. Still it’s rare. When Lrimer’s paper came ut in the jurnal, it was nt surprising that many were skeptical. “Smetimes, what seems like a remarkable scientific discvery turns ut t be an errr in the data,” sme cmmented.
Later, a yung graduate student was assigned the task f finding mre FRBs. Using the same radi telescpe Lrimer nce used, she fund mre bursts that just lked like FRBs. But because f the ways they appeared in the telescpe data, she was virtually certain that they were sme ther kind f radi interference and gave them anther name: perytns. As years ticked by and n mre FRBs were discvered, sme astrnmers began t cnclude Lrimer had fund nthing mre than an unusual example f ne f these perytns.
Gd news: in 2011, there was a reprt f a secnd FRB. Fur mre were fund in 2013. Bad news: all f them came frm the same Lrimer’s radi telescpe. But ultimately, in 2014, there was a reprt frm anther radi telescpe. Mre discveries started shwing up frm ther telescpes n a smewhat regular basis. At last the cnversatin abut FRBs shifted – frm whether they were real t where they came frm.
Years f research have passed by since then. Nw, Victria Kaspi, a physics prfessr and principal investigatr n the FRB team, predicts that nce the mre advanced telescpes cme nline in 2024, the lcatin and distance f mst FRBs detected can be fund ut, which will prvide “glden pprtunities fr astrnmers t study the large-scale structure f the universe”.
Finally, this “unicrn” stry came t a smehw surprising end. Several years ag, a team reanalyzed the same data frm the radi telescpe by which Lrimer fund the first FRB. There was ne mre that they had previusly missed. Since then, ther teams have analyzed even lder data and fund FRBs in thse datasets t.
“They were just sitting there, waiting t be discvered by better techniques,” Lrimer says.
63. Which f the fllwing has the clsest meaning t the underlined wrd in paragraph 3?
A. Optimistic.B. Curius.C. Supprtive.D. Dubtful.
64. Why did the authr mentin unicrns in the first paragraph?
A. T suggest that the new scientific discvery was a myth.
B. T imply magical creatures may actually exist in the wrld.
C. T symblize the previusly unknwn and unseen discveries.
D. T qute an incident that nce happened in the field f science.
65. Why was it bad news that ther FRBs fund als came frm Lrimer’s telescpe?
A. Because it might mean the results were nt reliable.
B. Because they were all fund by a yung graduate student.
C. Because these were given the name perytns and were nt real FRBs.
D. Because nt every astrnmer had the same type f telescpe as Lrimer.
66. What can we imply frm this passage?
A. It’s pssible fr just ne event t start a new field f scientific research.
B. New scientific discveries can’t be made withut advanced research techniques.
C. Scientists shuldn’t deny new discveries even if they lack evidence temprarily.
D. Scientists shuld be careful t distinguish new discveries frm errrs in the datasets.

Strengthen Bnds With Yur New Pet
Welcming a new pet can be a magical mment fr a lt f families. Unfrtunately, many new pet wners struggle t bnd with them. The fllwing steps may help.

71. Benefits f Green ces
We all knw the value f taking a walk in the fresh spring weather. It allws yur mind t relax and frget abut the prblems in everyday life. Studies have cmmnly shwn the benefits f being arund green ces, including gardens, urban parks and frests.
But did yu knw that being in cntact with these natural surrundings during childhd culd psitively impact yur mental health as an adult? A study by the Institute fr Glbal Health surveyed 3,600 peple frm all ver Eurpe.
The all-adult study gave participants a questinnaire (问卷) n hw frequently they used natural ces during childhd — fr example, playing in a garden r riding a bike at the park. They were als asked abut the imprtance they put n using such places. Vlunteers were then given a psychlgical test, which included a variety f questinnaires and prblem-slving activities, t analyze their nervusness and feelings f depressin within a fur-week perid. The results cnsistently shwed that the peple wh were mre expsed t natural ces had higher mental health scres cmpared t thse with lwer childhd expsure — as did thse wh attached higher imprtance t using green ces. The study’s assistant, Wilma Smith, wrte that the results “shw the imprtance f childhd expsure t natural ces fr the develpment f a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychlgical state in adulthd”. She als stressed the imprtance f “recgnizing the implicatins f grwing up in envirnments with limited pprtunities fr expsure t nature”.
Accrding t the study, 73 percent f Eurpe’s ppulatin nly has limited access t natural ces. S we call n plicymakers t imprve the availability f natural ces fr children.
While this study was based in Eurpe, a lack f green ce can affect anyne, anywhere. S remember t make time t expse yurself t nature, as yur mental health is just as imprtant as the physical ne.

Surviving withut water is tugher than surviving withut fd, and this is a big challenge in the dry deserts f Saudi Arabia. The deserts dn’t have much shade, and the sands aren’t great fr plants t grw. It might seem unlikely fr farms, cities, and civilizatins t develp there, but that’s what happened in the AlUla valley. Even in the desert, there are spts with water that supprt life. AlUla is ne such place in the vast deserts f Saudi Arabia.
The stry f AlUla started millins f years ag when a wetter climate shaped a big water catchment, like a giant bwl t cllect and stre water. Mst f the water flwed undergrund and gt trapped. Over time, mre water was cllected until it reached the surface, creating a wetland. This wetland allwed plants t grw and prvided fd fr many living creatures. AlUla’s first peple lived like hunter-gatherers, seeking shade under giant trees, hunting animals, and drinking frm natural springs.
But AlUla wasn’t just abut water; it als had rich sils, perfect fr grwing crps. Later, this attracted settlers wh built a civilizatin and grew crps like fruits and wheat. In this way, AlUla became a place where peple settled, develped agriculture, and the civilizatin thrived and grew.

W: Hi. Actually, it’s nt just skin that needs t be prtected frm the sunlight. Eyes need this prtectin, t.
M: That’s news t me. Hw can we d this?
W: Fr example, wearing sunglasses can blck ut 99% t 100% f UV light.
M: Yu mean thse cl-lking glasses with dark lenses?
W: Well actually, dark lenses aren’t necessarily UV-prtected, and can thus be mre harmful t yur eyes.
M: S, we shuld pay attentin t the UV prtectin ability f the sunglasses.
W: Exactly. Anther surprising thing is that gardening, hme repairs and sprts can all pse risks t the eyes.
M: These are all cmmn husehld chres and activities! What shuld we d?

Unlcking The Vatican Museums
Gianni Crea has, almst every mrning fr the past decade, unlcked the drs t the Vatican Museums.

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.
Mathematics has an image prblem: far t many peple are put ff by it and cnclude that the subject just isn’t fr them. But ne f the biggest prblems is hw maths is ___41___, as cld and dry.
I have a different apprach which is t relate abstract maths t questins f plitics and scial justice. I have taught fairly maths-phbic (恐惧) art students in this way and have seen their attitudes ___42___. They nw believe maths is ___43___ them and can genuinely help them.
At a basic level, maths is funded n lgic, s when I am teaching lgic, I use examples frm ___44___ events rather than the ld-fashined type f prblem. Instead f studying the lgic f a statement like “all dgs have fur legs”, I might discuss the statement “all immigrants are illegal”.
But I d this with specific mathematical structures, t. ___45___, I teach a type f structure called an rdered set, which is subject t an rder relatin such as “is less than”. We then study and ask which functins are “rder-preserving”. A typical example might be the functin that takes a(n) ___46___ number and maps it t the number btained frm multiplying by 2. We wuld then say that if x < y then als 2x < 2y, s the functin is rder-preserving.
___47___, rather than sticking t this type f dry mathematical example, I intrduce issues like privilege and wealth. If we think f ne rdered set with peple rdered by status, we can make a functin t anther set where the peple are nw rdered by ___48___ instead. If smene has a higher status, are they autmatically wealthier? We can als ask abut wrking hurs and ___49___: if smene wrks mre hurs, d they ___50___ earn mre? The answer there is clearly nt.
My apprach is cntrversial because, traditinally, maths is suppsed t be ___51___ and aplitical (与政治无关的). I have been ___52___ by peple wh think my apprach will be ff-putting (令人烦恼的) t thse wh dn’t care abut scial justice. Hwever, the dry apprach is ff-putting t thse wh d care. In fact, I believe that all academic disciplines shuld address ur mst imprtant issues. Abstract maths is abut making thrugh lgical arguments, which is linked t everything. I dn’t ___53___ that students agree with me abut plitics, but I d ask that they cnstruct thrugh arguments t back up their thughts and develp the crucial ability t analyze the lgic f peple they ___54___.
Maths isn’t just abut numbers and equatins (方程式); it is abut studying different ___55___ systems. We can apply it t balls rlling dwn different hills, but we can als apply it t pressing scial issues. I think we shuld d bth, fr the sake f sciety and t be mre inclusive twards different types f students in maths educatin.

(A)
One summer night in a seaside cttage, a by felt himself lifted frm bed. Then, with the swiftness f a dream, he was held in his father’s arms ut nt the nearby beach. Overhead the sky blazed with stars. “Watch!” Incredibly, as his father spke, ne f the stars mved. In a line f glden fire it flashed acrss the astnished heavens. And befre the wnder f this culd fade, anther star leaped frm its place, then anther, plunging twards the restless sea.
“What’s this?” the child whispered.
“Shting stars. They cme every year n a certain August night. I thught yu’d like t see the shw.”
That was all: just an unexpected glimpse f smething mysterius and beautiful. But, back in bed, the child stared fr a lng time int the dark, knwing that all arund the quiet huse, the night was full f the silent music f the falling stars.
Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the frtunate by whse father believed that a new experience was mre imprtant fr a small by than an unbrken night’s sleep. N dubt I had all the usual childhd entertainment, but thse are frgtten nw. What I remember is the night f the shting stars, and the day we rde in a cabse (列车末尾的职工车厢), the telegraph we made that really wrked, and the ‘trphy table’ in the dining rm where we children were encuraged t exhibit things we had fund — anything unusual r beautiful — snake skins, seashells, flwers, arrwheads... I remember the thught-prvking (引人深思的) bks left by my bedside that pushed back my hrizns and smetimes actually changed my life.
My father had, t a marvellus degree, the gift f pening drs fr his children, f leading them int areas f splendid newness. This subtle art f adding dimensins t a child’s wrld desn’t necessarily require a great deal f time. It simply invlves ding things mre ften with ur children instead f fr them r t them.

If a scientist sees a unicrn (独角兽), she’ll prbably want t see mre than ne befre telling the wrld abut her discvery. But smetimes ne unicrn is enugh.
In 2007 an astrnmer named Duncan Lrimer reprted finding a new kind f astrnmical event. It was a brief stream f energy s pwerful that it culd reach Earth frm a galaxy billins f light-years away. He called it a fast radi burst (FRB). This remarkable find, if real, culd make huge cntributins t the study abut universe. He predicted there wuld be many mre – but that year, he sptted just ne.
It’s nt unheard f fr ne event t kick ff a whle new field f scientific inquiry. Still it’s rare. When Lrimer’s paper came ut in the jurnal, it was nt surprising that many were skeptical. “Smetimes, what seems like a remarkable scientific discvery turns ut t be an errr in the data,” sme cmmented.
Later, a yung graduate student was assigned the task f finding mre FRBs. Using the same radi telescpe Lrimer nce used, she fund mre bursts that just lked like FRBs. But because f the ways they appeared in the telescpe data, she was virtually certain that they were sme ther kind f radi interference and gave them anther name: perytns. As years ticked by and n mre FRBs were discvered, sme astrnmers began t cnclude Lrimer had fund nthing mre than an unusual example f ne f these perytns.
Gd news: in 2011, there was a reprt f a secnd FRB. Fur mre were fund in 2013. Bad news: all f them came frm the same Lrimer’s radi telescpe. But ultimately, in 2014, there was a reprt frm anther radi telescpe. Mre discveries started shwing up frm ther telescpes n a smewhat regular basis. At last the cnversatin abut FRBs shifted – frm whether they were real t where they came frm.
Years f research have passed by since then. Nw, Victria Kaspi, a physics prfessr and principal investigatr n the FRB team, predicts that nce the mre advanced telescpes cme nline in 2024, the lcatin and distance f mst FRBs detected can be fund ut, which will prvide “glden pprtunities fr astrnmers t study the large-scale structure f the universe”.
Finally, this “unicrn” stry came t a smehw surprising end. Several years ag, a team reanalyzed the same data frm the radi telescpe by which Lrimer fund the first FRB. There was ne mre that they had previusly missed. Since then, ther teams have analyzed even lder data and fund FRBs in thse datasets t.
“They were just sitting there, waiting t be discvered by better techniques,” Lrimer says.
63. Which f the fllwing has the clsest meaning t the underlined wrd in paragraph 3?
A. Optimistic.B. Curius.C. Supprtive.D. Dubtful.
64. Why did the authr mentin unicrns in the first paragraph?
A. T suggest that the new scientific discvery was a myth.
B. T imply magical creatures may actually exist in the wrld.
C. T symblize the previusly unknwn and unseen discveries.
D. T qute an incident that nce happened in the field f science.
65. Why was it bad news that ther FRBs fund als came frm Lrimer’s telescpe?
A. Because it might mean the results were nt reliable.
B. Because they were all fund by a yung graduate student.
C. Because these were given the name perytns and were nt real FRBs.
D. Because nt every astrnmer had the same type f telescpe as Lrimer.
66. What can we imply frm this passage?
A. It’s pssible fr just ne event t start a new field f scientific research.
B. New scientific discveries can’t be made withut advanced research techniques.
C. Scientists shuldn’t deny new discveries even if they lack evidence temprarily.

Strengthen Bnds With Yur New Pet
Welcming a new pet can be a magical mment fr a lt f families. Unfrtunately, many new pet wners struggle t bnd with them. The fllwing steps may help.

71. Benefits f Green ces
We all knw the value f taking a walk in the fresh spring weather. It allws yur mind t relax and frget abut the prblems in everyday life. Studies have cmmnly shwn the benefits f being arund green ces, including gardens, urban parks and frests.
But did yu knw that being in cntact with these natural surrundings during childhd culd psitively impact yur mental health as an adult? A study by the Institute fr Glbal Health surveyed 3,600 peple frm all ver Eurpe.
The all-adult study gave participants a questinnaire (问卷) n hw frequently they used natural ces during childhd — fr example, playing in a garden r riding a bike at the park. They were als asked abut the imprtance they put n using such places. Vlunteers were then given a psychlgical test, which included a variety f questinnaires and prblem-slving activities, t analyze their nervusness and feelings f depressin within a fur-week perid. The results cnsistently shwed that the peple wh were mre expsed t natural ces had higher mental health scres cmpared t thse with lwer childhd expsure — as did thse wh attached higher imprtance t using green ces. The study’s assistant, Wilma Smith, wrte that the results “shw the imprtance f childhd expsure t natural ces fr the develpment f a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychlgical state in adulthd”. She als stressed the imprtance f “recgnizing the implicatins f grwing up in envirnments with limited pprtunities fr expsure t nature”.
Accrding t the study, 73 percent f Eurpe’s ppulatin nly has limited access t natural ces. S we call n plicymakers t imprve the availability f natural ces fr children.
While this study was based in Eurpe, a lack f green ce can affect anyne, anywhere. S remember t make time t expse yurself t nature, as yur mental health is just as imprtant as the physical ne.

Surviving withut water is tugher than surviving withut fd, and this is a big challenge in the dry deserts f Saudi Arabia. The deserts dn’t have much shade, and the sands aren’t great fr plants t grw.

AlUla is ne such place in the vast deserts f Saudi Arabia.
The stry f AlUla started millins f years ag when a wetter climate shaped a big water catchment, like a giant bwl t cllect and stre water. Mst f the water flwed undergrund and gt trapped. Over time, mre water was cllected until it reached the surface, creating a wetland. This wetland allwed plants t grw and prvided fd fr many living creatures. AlUla’s first peple lived like hunter-gatherers, seeking shade under giant trees, hunting animals, and drinking frm natural springs.
But AlUla wasn’t just abut water; it als had rich sils, perfect fr grwing crps. Later, this attracted settlers wh built a civilizatin and grew crps like fruits and wheat. In this way, AlUla became a place where peple settled, develped agriculture, and the civilizatin thrived and grew.
