Over 40 students with lw visin study at a schl in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. It was designed by Anand Snecha, funder f an architecture cmpany. Featuring a bright yellw entrance dr, which stands ut against the white walls, the schl is decrated with a variety f sweet-smelling plants everywhere. Inside the classrms, the walls feel smth in cntrast t the rugh utside f the building. These all help students familiarize themselves with the area straightfrwardly, withut any truble.
The schl prvides an pen space serving as a platfrm fr the visually-challenged students t play, perfrm, r celebrate festivals and the students are easy t rient themselves accrding t the sund, smell, sight and tuch. "The idea behind the design was t make the schl mre accessible t the students," Snecha says, "They cme frm remte villages and twns in Gujarat, and I am eager t help them."
During the cnstructin, Snecha used cntrasting clrs s that students culd easily distinguish between the elements. Blue was used fr all classrm drs, yellw fr the entrance gate, black fr switch buttns, and yellw and green fr the furniture. All these clrs cntrasted with the white walls f the schl, helping the students lcate different elements. Different areas are f different height and width, which makes the sunds and nises change accrding t the ech（回音）prduced in these spaces. Furthermre, he cperated with fellw landscape architect Lkendra Balasaria t plant mre than 1,000 plants f 37 species. These sweet plants have been grwn nt nly t lead the children t mve in the schl thrugh smell but als t attract butterflies and birds, and prvide shade.
"The structure f the building is designed similarly t any ther schl building, nly with a few clever elements. My intentin was t avid making it lk distinct frm ther schls," Snecha explains, "I hpe that there are n different schls fr such students. Instead, all these elements shuld be added t public spaces fr them. And my fllw-up effrts may be there."
24. Why did Snecha design the schl in Gandhinagar?
A. T explre architecture styles. B. T raise funds fr his cmpany.
C. T ffer cnvenience t the students. D. T imprve students' learning ability.
25. What des the underlined wrd "rient" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Relax. B. Waken. C. Cheer. D. Direct.
26. Hw des the schl help students perfrm daily rutine?
A. By expanding activity areas. B. By stimulating multiple senses.
C. By ffering behaviral guidelines. D. By strengthening safety measures.
27. What will Snecha prbably d in the future?
A. Prmte accessibility in the public regins.
В. Mdernize architecture with smart devices.
C. Build special schls fr disabled students.
D. Decrate schls with traditinal elements.

I think I might be a NIMBY. This is rather hard fr me t accept, because that shrtened wrd（Nt In My BackYard）is typically used t criticize smene as self-centered. I even recall when I first heard the wrd—at schl, sme 30 years ag. My teacher explained it was that UK prperty develpers are frequently frustrated by hypcritical hmewners, wh claim t be in favur f prgress（new husing, fr instance）, but then bject when actual prpsals emerge t develp such things in their pstcdes.
As a yung adult I lived in Lndn, s I never had cause t revise my pinin. But then I mved t the green belt where ur huse is surrunded by fields. Lk ut, and yu see nthing man-made at all, unless the farmer is taking ut his cmbine harvester（I A 4&&JI）. The view was the reasn we bught here. Thanks t prtective planning regulatins intrduced decades ag, here was a place where an authentic rural identity had been kept alive.
We culd have headed 40 minutes further nrth, and settled upn anther similar lking village with less threat f being swallwed up by the city. But then, that wuldn't be the same at all, wuld it? Our village's clseness t Lndn is the precise thing that elevates it abve and beynd its wnderful views—because the fact that it might ne day be destryed and turned t cncrete is what makes it mst special. It's nt just a place yu live in. It's a place yu feel an urge t prtect.
Yet the planning applicatins cme thick and fast, each applicatin abandning prir cmmitments t preservatin. On a weekly basis, sme leaflet drps thrugh my dr frm lcal campaigners prtesting 177 huses here, 231 huses there. I always sigh and attempt t evaluate these "NIMBY" flyers prperly, rather than just write a cmplaint t the cuncil. After all, new huses need t be built smewhere, right?
And if we didn't live where we d, these plans wuldn't upset me. It's because f their intentin t build s clse t my prperty-In My Back Yard-that I'm s aware f the changes that such develpments wuld bring. S, I add my signature t the flyers.
28. What des the underlined wrd "hypcritical" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Narrw-minded. B. Indifferent. C. Tw-faced. D. Indecisive.
29. Why des the authr mentin "cmbine harvester" in Paragraph 2?
A. T emphasize the rarity f artificial elements.
B. T prmte mdern machinery in the village.
C. T explain the nging agricultural activities.
D. T indicate damage caused by regulatins.
30. Why des the authr prefer his village t anther similar ptin?
A. He is attracted t its beautiful landscape.
B. He sees the benefits f its urbanizatin.
C. He finds the cnvenience f living near Lndn.
D. He feels a duty t save it frm develpment threat.
31. What is the authr's attitude tward NIMB Yism accrding t Paragraph 5?
A. Supprtive. B. Dismissive. C. Enthusiastic. D. dubtful
D
Yu jerk（猛然一动）awake in the middle f the night in cnfusin. Is there a figure standing in the crner f the rm? Yur brain begs yur legs t mve, but nthing happens. The anxiety increases. Yur eyes scan the rm. Just as yu're abut t hit peak panic, yu sit up and the figure disappears.
Yu've just experienced sleep paralysis（瘫痪）, which is the name experts give t all srts f weird things that ccur during sleep. It happens when the brain temprarily disables the bdy t prevent it frm acting ut the vivid dreams ccurring during REM（rapid eye mvement）sleep. It ften cmes with a feeling f immbility, and a sense f chking. The gd news is, it's abslutely nrmal, even if it's terrifying.
But when sleep paralysis happens utside f deep sleep—when a persn is just dzing ff—it can be "disruptive f the architecture f sleep," said Baland Jalal, a researcher wh investigates the phenmenn. That culd lead t mre sleep paralysis.
While nt everyne wh has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinatins（幻觉）, seeing a persn r a ghst in the rm is the mst cmmn visin, said Jalal. The mechanisms behind sleep paralysis remain unclear, but research indicates that certain risk factrs may increase the likelihd f experiencing a jerk, including extreme exercise befre sleep, inadequate sleep, emtinal stress and wrry, and excessive stimulant cnsumptin（like caffeine and nictine）, especially later in the day.
"Fr mst peple, it desn't indicate any kind f disease. If yu are really wrried abut it, regular sleep and ther simple relaxatin techniques, like meditatin, deep breathing and yga, may help," said Dr. Nathaniel Watsn, president f the American Academy f Sleep Medicine. While the experience feels frightening, the episdes last nly a few secnds r minutes at mst. Mst peple slip ut f it as quickly as they fell int it, he said.
32. What is sleep paralysis?
A. A frightening dream that interrupts sleep.
B. A physical symptm f anxiety disrders.
C. A mental disease that affects sleep quality.
D. A brief state f being cnscius but frzen.
33. What d peple wh have sleep paralysis ften experience?
A. Invluntary cugh. B. Unreal sensatin.
C. Sharpened visin. D. Lng-time immbility.
34. What des Dr. Nathaniel Watsn say abut sleep paralysis?
A. It is caused by inadequate sleep. B. It can be a warning signal f diseases.
C. It is a temprary disturbing experience. D. It can be prevented by extreme exercise.
35. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Cmmn Myths Abut Sleep Paralysis
B. Sleep Paralysis: Hw It Affects Sleep Patterns
C. Ways t Prevent and Cpe with Sleep Paralysis
D. Sleep Paralysis: Why We Jerk Awake and Can't Mve

The summer finally came. That afternn, the ht sun was shining brightly, making the tree leaves almst burn and making peple's bdies seem t be n fire.

Upn arriving at the gym's pl, I was greeted by a lively scene. Sme peple just jumped int the water, with hands entering first and the bdy fllwing in a smth mtin. Sme were kicking their legs rhythmically belw the surface. All were happy. That was infectius, and I culdn't help but feel deep admiratin. Then I made a decisin!
Taking a deep breath, I fllwed their example, clsing my eyes and jumping int the "vast water" with a plp（扑通声）.
At this mment, my head was pinting t the grund and my feet t the sky. When I "plpped" t the bttm, my whle bdy was swinging hard and my hands and feet lst their ability t feel. I just felt water rushing twards me, and my nse was filled with water. It was very terrible. Suddenly, I was hit by smething. I struggled ut f the light blue water bit by bit as if being dragged.
"That's hrrible!” I shuted ludly, and while I was cmplaining, I suddenly realized that I culdn't swim in the first place, s why shuld I be shcked? Just when I decided t stay away frm water, smene gently patted my shulder and said, "Dn't be discuraged, little girl. Lk, swimming requires…" The lady intrduced herself as Allisn. She gave me a "lecture" n hw t hld my breath, hw t kick gently, and hw t start with flating with the help f a swimming ring, being patient while giving me a demnstratin.
