Fr nearly tw decades, a thin, sun-burnt pstal wrker culd frequently be seen carrying packages alng a dangcrus muntain trail in the Taihang Muntains.
The 10-kilmeter-lng rute, which is between 20 centimeters and 1 meter wide, is knwn as the “cat rad” by lcals, meaning that it is s dangerus that nly cats culd walk n it. Whereas, Zha Yuefang, a pstal wrker in Ewu twnship in Huguan cunty, Shanxi prvince, had t walk the rute every day t deliver mail.
Every day at the crack f dawn, he wuld start his jurney alng the “cat rad”. Frm picking up the day’s pst t delivering it t villagers and returning alng the same rute, it tk Zha fur days. During rainy and snwy seasns, the muntain rad, part f which hugs the cliffs, wuld becme slippery and dangerus. One day in the winter f 2003, the “cat rad” was cvered in thick snw and he slipped ff the trail. Frtunately, he was able t stp his sharp descent by grabbing a tree branch and slwly managed t climb t safety.
By 2012, Zha had walked mre than 300,000 km and delivered ver 800,000 pieces f mail. Brn and raised in the deep muntains, Zha truly understands the significance f mail deliveries t villagers. “They depend n the mail t keep in tuch with the utside wrld,” he said. “Their sheer jy written n their face while receiving any pst struck me,” he added.
In 2012, a 67-km-lng turist highway was built and gne were thse days when Zha risked his life t walk n the “cat rad”. But Zha was even busier than befre. “The number f packages I handle daily nw exceeds the number I used t deal with in the past,” said Zha, adding that villagers are turning t nline shpping and rdering mre and mre gds by pst.
24. Why is the muntain trail referred t as “cat rad”?
A. It’s shaped like a cat.B. It’s intended fr cats.
C. It is t narrw and risky.D. It rains cats and dgs there.
25. What des the wrd “descent” in paragraph 3 mean?

Is life a stry r a game? Answers may vary frm ne t anther. Over the curse f life, we find things t lve and cmmit t —a jb, a partner r a cmmunity. At times, we struggle t learn frm ur misfrtunes t grw in wisdm, kindness and grace.
Will Strr, a writer whse wrk I admire, says this stry versin f life is a misunderstanding. In his bk The Status Game, he argues that human beings are deeply driven by status. Rather than abut being liked r accepted, he writes, it’s abut being better than thers. “When peple are bedient t us, ffer respect, admiratin r praise, that’s status. It feels gd.”
Life is a series f games, he adds. There’s the high schl game f cmpeting t be the ppular kid. The lawyer game t make partner. The finance game t make the mst mney. The academic game fr fame. The sprts game t shw that ur team is the best. Even when we are trying t d gd, Strr claims, we’re playing the “virtue game” t shw we are mrally superir t thers.
I think Strr is in danger f becming ne f thse guys wh ignre the nble desires f the human heart and the caring element in every friendship and family. The status-mad wrld that Strr describes is s lveless. In fact, gaming as a way f life is immature. Maturity means rising abve the shallw desire —fr status —that desn’t really nurish us. It’s abut cultivating the higher desires: the lve f truth and learning; the inner pleasure the craftsman gets in his wrk, which is nt abut ppularity, and the desire fr a gd and meaningful life that inspires peple t practise daily acts f genersity.
Hw d peple gradually learn t cultivate these higher mtivatins? T answer that, I’d have t tell yu a stry.
28. What lies in the cre f Will Strr’s pinin abut life?
A. The pride in ne’s virtue. B. The pursuit f superirity.
C. The desire fr acceptance. D. The mtivatin by wealth.
29. What can be viewed as higher mtivatins in the text?
A. Lve and inspiratin. B. Maturity and desire.
C. Cmmitment and kindness. D. Friendship and ppularity.
30. What’s the main purpse f the passage?
A. T crrect an attitude. B. T cmpare tw values.
C. T explain tw arguments. D. T criticize a viewpint.
31. What stry d yu think the authr will tell next?
A. A king’s-cmeback stry. B. A rags-t-riches stry.
C. A Yuan Lngping-style stry. D. An vernight-success stry.

Wuld a persn brn blind, wh has learned t distinguish bjects by tuch, be able t recgnize them purely by sight if he regained the ability t see? The questin, knwn as Młyneux’s prblem, is abut whether the human mind has a built-in cncept f shapes that is s inbrn that a blind persn culd immediately recgnize an bject with restred visin. Alternatively, the cncepts f shapes are nt inbrn but have t be learned by explring an bject thrugh sight, tuch and ther senses.
After their attempt t test it in blind children failed, Lars Chittka f Queen Mary University f Lndn and his team carried ut anther experiment n bumblebees. T test whether bumblebees can frm an internal representatin f bjects, they first trained the insects t distinguish glbes frm cubes using a sugar reward. The bees were first trained in the light, where they culd see but nt tuch the bjects. Then they were tested in the dark, where they culd tuch but nt see the items. The researchers fund that the insects spent mre time in cntact with the shape they had been trained t assciate with the sugar reward, even thugh they had t rely n tuch rather than sight t distinguish the bjects.
The researchers als did the ppsite test with untrained bumblebees, first teaching them with rewards in the dark and then testing them in the light. Again, the bees were able t recgnize the shape assciated with the sugar reward, thugh they had t rely n sight rather than tuch in the test. In shrt, bees have slved Mlyneux’s prblem because the fact suggests that they can picture bject features and access them thrugh sight r tuch.
Hwever, sme experts express their warnings against the result. Jnathan Birch, a philspher f science, cautins that the bees may have had prir experience assciating visual and tactile (触觉) infrmatin abut straight edges and curved surfaces in their nests.
32. What is Mlyneux’s prblem abut?
A. Whether mankind’s sense f tuch utweighs sight.
B. Whether mankind’s idea f shape is inbrn r learned.
C. Whether blind peple can identify the shape f an item.
D. Whether the blind can regain their sense f tuch after recvery.
33. Hw did Lars Chittka and his clleagues try t figure ut Mlyneux’s prblem?
A. By experimenting n blind children.
B. By cnducting cntrlled experiments.
C. By rewarding bumblebees with sugar.
D. By bserving bumblebees in their nests.
34. What is Jnathan Birch’s attitude twards the cnclusin f the bee experiments?
A. Skeptical. B. Supprtive. C. Dismissive. D. Ambiguus.
35. Which f the fllwing can be the best title f the passage?
A. Scientists Fund Senses Matter
B. Visual-Tactile Puzzle Has Been Slved
C. Experiments Will Help the Blind Regain Sight
D. Bumblebees May Help Slve Mlyneux’s Prblem

I clearly remember the day I walked int class with a big change — my very first pair f eye glasses and I was the first t wear glasses in my primary schl.

The reasn behind getting the glasses was my pr eyesight. I culdn’t cpy wrds and prper grammar frm the blackbard because I sat at the back f the class, and everything was t vague fr me t see. My friend wuld read alud every phrase t me s that I culd write them dwn, like a parrt.
Wearing thse glasses was like stepping int a 3D cinematic wrld. I culd see everything as clearly and each tiny de tail felt like a delightful surprise.
Hwever, n the day I wre my glasses t schl, everyne’s reactin t my transfrmatin was beynd my expectatin. All the bys laughed and even teased me. Sme kind-hearted girls frced a smile and tld me that my glasses lked gd n me, but I knew they didn’t. They all lied.
Thugh I needed thse glasses mre than I wanted them, yet I started t dislike my new glasses in the fllwing week. A mnth passed, my classmates still weren’t used t seeing me in glasses and I tk them ff during the lunch break r when the classes were dismissed.
