Ten years ag, I went n a vacatin in Italy. After climbing up a hill fr a panramic (全景的) view f the blue sea, white buildings and green live trees, I paused t catch my breath and then psitined myself t take the best pht f this panrama.
Unfrtunately, just as I tk ut my camera, a wman apprached frm behind, and planted herself right in frnt f my view. Like me, this wman was here t stp, sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was, after abut 15 minutes, I grew frustrated. Was it t much t ask her t mve s I culd take just ne picture f the landscape? Sure, I culd have asked her, but smething prevented me frm ding s. She seemed s cntent in her bservatin. I didn't want t mess with that. Anther 15 minutes passed and I grew bred. The wman was still there. I decided t take the pht anyway.
Nw when I lk at the pht, I think her presence in the pht is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful n its wn, smehw cmes t life and breathes because this wman is engaging with it.
This pht, with the unique beauty that unflded befre me and that wman wh "ruined" it, nw hangs n a wall in my bedrm. What wuld she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frzen n sme strangers bedrm wall? A bedrm, after all, is a very private space, in which sme wman I dn't even knw has been immrtalized (使永存). In sme ways, she lives in my huse.
Perhaps we all live in each ther's spaces. Perhaps this is what phts are fr: t remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a cmmn desire fr pleasure, fr cnnectin, fr smething that is greater than us. That pht is a reminder, a captured mment, an unspken cnversatin between tw wmen, separated nly by a thin square f glass.

A. The wman's existence in the pht.B. The perfect psitining f the camera.
C The rich clr f the landscape.D. The sft sunlight that summer day.
7. The pht n the bedrm wall enables the authr t better understand ________.

Nw researchers have fund that humans prduce a different dr (气味) when under pressure — and dgs can sniff it ut. While previus studies have suggested dgs might ntice human emtins, pssibly thrugh smell, questins remained ver whether they culd detect stress and if this culd be dne thrugh smell.
Wilsn, head f ne research team, pinted the findings culd prve useful when training service dgs, such as thse that supprt peple with PTSD (创伤后应激障碍). “They’re ften trained t lk at smene either cruching dwn n the flr, crying ut in fear, r starting t d self-injurius behavirs,” said Wilsn. The latest study, she said, ffers anther ptential clue.
Wilsn and clleagues trained fur dgs t identify the cntainer hlding a particular breath and sweat sample, even when the cntainers included unused gauze (纱布), samples frm anther persn, r samples frm the same persn taken at a different time f day. After the team is cnfident that the dgs understd the apprach, they turned t cllect breath and sweat samples cllected frm 36 peple asked t cunt backwards frm 9,000 in units f 17, and the participants reprted feeling stressed.
Later, the dgs were taught t pick ut samples taken just after the task. The researchers then tested whether the dgs culd d the same with samples taken frm the same participant just befre the task, when they were mre relaxed. Each set f samples was shwn t a single dg in 20 trials.
The results reveal that the dgs chse the “stressed” sample in 675 ut f the 720 trials. It was pretty amazing t see hw smthly the dgs act in telling peple these tw samples definitely different.
8. Why did Wilsn and clleagues d such an experiment?
A. T train service dgs fr peple with PTSD.B. T cnfirm dgs can smell ut stressed peple.
C. T prve dgs culd recgnize human emtins.D. T help peple understand hw stressed they are.
9. The service dgs will usually prvide help when smene ________.
A. hurts himselfB. lies n the bedC. prduces an drD. screams in excitement
10. Which rder des the experiment fllw?
a. T train dgs t pick ut the particular cntainer.
b. T shw each set f samples t a single dg in 20 trials.
c. T cllect samples frm participants when they are stressed ut.
d. T ask participants t cunt backwards frm 9,000 in units f 17.
A. a-d-c-bB. a-c-d-bC. c-a-d-bD. c-a-b-d

Climate change, nt human hunting, may have destryed the thylacine(袋狼) , accrding t a new study based n DNA frm thylacine bnes.
The meat-eating marsupials (有袋动物) died ut n mainland Australia a few thusand years ag, but survived in Tasmania, an island f sutheast Australia separated frm the mainland, until the 1930s. Until nw, scientists have believed the cause f this mainland extinctin was increased activity frm native Australians and dinges (Australian wild dgs).
Scientists behind the University f Adelaide study, which was published in the Jurnal f Bigegraphy n Thursday, cllected 51 new thylacine DNA samples frm fssil bnes and museum skins. The paper cncluded that climate change starting abut 4,000 years ag was likely the main cause f the mainland extinctin.
The ancient DNA shwed that the mainland extinctin f thylacines was rapid, and nt the result f lss f genetic diversity. There was als evidence f a ppulatin crash in thylacines in Tasmania at the same perid f time, reducing their numbers and genetic diversity.
Prfessr Jeremy Austin said Tasmania wuld have been prtected frm mainland Australia’s warmer, drier climate due t its higher rainfall. He argued that climate change was “the nly thing that culd have caused, r at least started, an extinctin n the mainland and caused a ppulatin crash in Tasmania.”
“They bth ccurred at abut the same time, and the ther tw things that have been talked abut in the past that may have driven thylacines t extinctin n the mainland were dinges and humans. S the nly explanatin that’s left is climate change. And because that ppulatin cllapse happened at the same time that the species went extinct n the mainland, ur argument is there’s a cmmn theme there and the nly cmmn theme is that there is this change in climate.”
12. What did scientists believe in the past accrding t the passage?
A. Marsupials were all meat-eating animals.
B. Dinges shuld be remved frm Australia.
C. Thylacines had n enemies n mainland Australia.
D. Human activities may cause the extinctin f thylacines.
13. What’s the difference between mainland Australia and Tasmania?
A. Tasmania has mre dinges.
B. Tasmania has mre native activities.
C. Tasmania has a higher temperature.
D. Tasmania has mre rainy days.
14. What des the underlined wrd “cllapse” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A. changeB. agingC. declineD. increase
15. What’s the best title fr the passage?
A. The result f warmer climate in Australia
B. The ways f prtecting meat-eating animals
C. The cause f disappearance f thylacines
D. The effect f climate change n wildlife

I never thught I had any natural talent when it came t music. Thrughut my childhd, the fascinating wrld f music seemed like an impssible dream fr me. I just shwed n interest in singing sngs r playing an instrument. Hwever, my parents had a different plan fr me. They insisted that I learn t play the pian when I was just six years ld. Wanting t be a gd daughter, I agreed t their wishes, even thugh deep dwn, I had n real interest in it. Never did I knw that this decisin wuld lead t an unexpected jurney f self-discvery.
My pian teacher, Mrs. Jhnsn, was a kind and bservant wman. She had a way f reading her students’ minds and understanding their true feelings. It didn’t take lng fr her t realize that my heart wasn’t fully absrbed in playing the pian. Hwever, she cntinued t teach me patiently, hping t stir a spark (火花) within me.
After abut six mnths f lessns, Mrs. Jhnsn apprached me with an unexpected request. She asked me t perfrm at the year-end cncert she had rganized fr her students. I was surprised and terrified at the same time. The thught f playing in frnt f an audience was challenging, cnsidering my lack f passin fr the instrument. Nevertheless, I culdn’t refuse my teacher’s request, s I culd nly agree.
Given my limited experience, I decided t chse a fairly simple cmpsitin fr the cncert. In rder t perfrm well, I practiced the same cmpsitin fr an hur a day fr the next tw mnths, perfecting the ntes (音符) and the rhythm. I wanted t ensure that, in spite f my dubts, I wuld at least be able t give a decent (体面的) perfrmance.

Ten years ag, I went n a vacatin in Italy. After climbing up a hill fr a panramic (全景的) view f the blue sea, white buildings and green live trees, I paused t catch my breath and then psitined myself t take the best pht f this panrama.
Unfrtunately, just as I tk ut my camera, a wman apprached frm behind, and planted herself right in frnt f my view. Like me, this wman was here t stp, sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was, after abut 15 minutes, I grew frustrated. Was it t much t ask her t mve s I culd take just ne picture f the landscape? Sure, I culd have asked her, but smething prevented me frm ding s. She seemed s cntent in her bservatin. I didn't want t mess with that. Anther 15 minutes passed and I grew bred. The wman was still there. I decided t take the pht anyway.
Nw when I lk at the pht, I think her presence in the pht is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful n its wn, smehw cmes t life and breathes because this wman is engaging with it.
This pht, with the unique beauty that unflded befre me and that wman wh "ruined" it, nw hangs n a wall in my bedrm. What wuld she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frzen n sme strangers bedrm wall? A bedrm, after all, is a very private space, in which sme wman I dn't even knw has been immrtalized (使永存). In sme ways, she lives in my huse.
Perhaps we all live in each ther's spaces. Perhaps this is what phts are fr: t remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a cmmn desire fr pleasure, fr cnnectin, fr smething that is greater than us. That pht is a reminder, a captured mment, an unspken cnversatin between tw wmen, separated nly by a thin square f glass.

Nw researchers have fund that humans prduce a different dr (气味) when under pressure — and dgs can sniff it ut. While previus studies have suggested dgs might ntice human emtins, pssibly thrugh smell, questins remained ver whether they culd detect stress and if this culd be dne thrugh smell.
Wilsn, head f ne research team, pinted the findings culd prve useful when training service dgs, such as thse that supprt peple with PTSD (创伤后应激障碍). “They’re ften trained t lk at smene either cruching dwn n the flr, crying ut in fear, r starting t d self-injurius behavirs,” said Wilsn. The latest study, she said, ffers anther ptential clue.
Wilsn and clleagues trained fur dgs t identify the cntainer hlding a particular breath and sweat sample, even when the cntainers included unused gauze (纱布), samples frm anther persn, r samples frm the same persn taken at a different time f day. After the team is cnfident that the dgs understd the apprach, they turned t cllect breath and sweat samples cllected frm 36 peple asked t cunt backwards frm 9,000 in units f 17, and the participants reprted feeling stressed.
Later, the dgs were taught t pick ut samples taken just after the task. The researchers then tested whether the dgs culd d the same with samples taken frm the same participant just befre the task, when they were mre relaxed. Each set f samples was shwn t a single dg in 20 trials.
The results reveal that the dgs chse the “stressed” sample in 675 ut f the 720 trials. It was pretty amazing t see hw smthly the dgs act in telling peple these tw samples definitely different.
8. Why did Wilsn and clleagues d such an experiment?
A. T train service dgs fr peple with PTSD.B. T cnfirm dgs can smell ut stressed peple.
C. T prve dgs culd recgnize human emtins.D. T help peple understand hw stressed they are.
9. The service dgs will usually prvide help when smene ________.
A. hurts himselfB. lies n the bedC. prduces an drD. screams in excitement
10. Which rder des the experiment fllw?
a. T train dgs t pick ut the particular cntainer.
b. T shw each set f samples t a single dg in 20 trials.
c. T cllect samples frm participants when they are stressed ut.
d. T ask participants t cunt backwards frm 9,000 in units f 17.
A. a-d-c-bB. a-c-d-bC. c-a-d-bD. c-a-b-d
11. What’s the authr’s attitude twards the finding?

Climate change, nt human hunting, may have destryed the thylacine(袋狼) , accrding t a new study based n DNA frm thylacine bnes.
The meat-eating marsupials (有袋动物) died ut n mainland Australia a few thusand years ag, but survived in Tasmania, an island f sutheast Australia separated frm the mainland, until the 1930s. Until nw, scientists have believed the cause f this mainland extinctin was increased activity frm native Australians and dinges (Australian wild dgs).
Scientists behind the University f Adelaide study, which was published in the Jurnal f Bigegraphy n Thursday, cllected 51 new thylacine DNA samples frm fssil bnes and museum skins. The paper cncluded that climate change starting abut 4,000 years ag was likely the main cause f the mainland extinctin.
The ancient DNA shwed that the mainland extinctin f thylacines was rapid, and nt the result f lss f genetic diversity. There was als evidence f a ppulatin crash in thylacines in Tasmania at the same perid f time, reducing their numbers and genetic diversity.
Prfessr Jeremy Austin said Tasmania wuld have been prtected frm mainland Australia’s warmer, drier climate due t its higher rainfall. He argued that climate change was “the nly thing that culd have caused, r at least started, an extinctin n the mainland and caused a ppulatin crash in Tasmania.”
“They bth ccurred at abut the same time, and the ther tw things that have been talked abut in the past that may have driven thylacines t extinctin n the mainland were dinges and humans. S the nly explanatin that’s left is climate change. And because that ppulatin cllapse happened at the same time that the species went extinct n the mainland, ur argument is there’s a cmmn theme there and the nly cmmn theme is that there is this change in climate.”
12. What did scientists believe in the past accrding t the passage?
A. Marsupials were all meat-eating animals.
B. Dinges shuld be remved frm Australia.
C. Thylacines had n enemies n mainland Australia.
D. Human activities may cause the extinctin f thylacines.
13. What’s the difference between mainland Australia and Tasmania?
A. Tasmania has mre dinges.
B. Tasmania has mre native activities.
C. Tasmania has a higher temperature.
D. Tasmania has mre rainy days.
14. What des the underlined wrd “cllapse” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A. changeB. agingC. declineD. increase
15. What’s the best title fr the passage?
A. The result f warmer climate in Australia
B. The ways f prtecting meat-eating animals
C. The cause f disappearance f thylacines
D. The effect f climate change n wildlife

I never thught I had any natural talent when it came t music. Thrughut my childhd, the fascinating wrld f music seemed like an impssible dream fr me. I just shwed n interest in singing sngs r playing an instrument. Hwever, my parents had a different plan fr me. They insisted that I learn t play the pian when I was just six years ld. Wanting t be a gd daughter, I agreed t their wishes, even thugh deep dwn, I had n real interest in it. Never did I knw that this decisin wuld lead t an unexpected jurney f self-discvery.
My pian teacher, Mrs. Jhnsn, was a kind and bservant wman. She had a way f reading her students’ minds and understanding their true feelings. It didn’t take lng fr her t realize that my heart wasn’t fully absrbed in playing the pian. Hwever, she cntinued t teach me patiently, hping t stir a spark (火花) within me.
After abut six mnths f lessns, Mrs. Jhnsn apprached me with an unexpected request. She asked me t perfrm at the year-end cncert she had rganized fr her students. I was surprised and terrified at the same time. The thught f playing in frnt f an audience was challenging, cnsidering my lack f passin fr the instrument. Nevertheless, I culdn’t refuse my teacher’s request, s I culd nly agree.
Given my limited experience, I decided t chse a fairly simple cmpsitin fr the cncert. In rder t perfrm well, I practiced the same cmpsitin fr an hur a day fr the next tw mnths, perfecting the ntes (音符) and the rhythm. I wanted t ensure that, in spite f my dubts, I wuld at least be able t give a decent (体面的) perfrmance.
