A new T- shirt that cntinuusly mnitrs heart activity and detects abnrmalities may help prevent strkes by identifying dangerus heart cnditins like atrial fibrillatin (AF). This irregular heart rhythm increases the risk f strke and affects ver a millin- peple in Britain, with an estimated 500,000 mre remaining undiagnsed due t a lack f nticeable symptms. While sme individuals experience signs like chest pain, dizziness, r fatigue, many nly discver the cnditin after suffering a strke.
Detecting AF typically invlves an electrcardigram (ECG), perfrmed in a hspital where trained staff attach up t 24 electrdes t different parts f the bdy. Hwever, since AF ften ccurs intermittently (间歇地), a shrt hspital check- up may nt detect it. T cunter this, dctrs smetimes prvide patient s with a Hlter mnitr, a device wrn under clthing that recrds heart activity. Hwever, it's bulky, incnvenient, and requires multiple wires t be attached t the chest, making it uncmfrtable fr daily wear.
The Cardiskin T- shirt ffers a mre practical alternative. Made frm cttn and washable up t35 times, it has15 small electrdes wven int the chest area t mnitr heart signals cntinuusly. The T- shirt can be wrn 24 hurs a day, increasing the likelihd f detecting abnrmal rhythms. Pwered by a remvable battery, the electrdes feed data t a micrchip, which wirelessly transmits the infrmatin t an app. The app cnverts the data int an easy- t- read chart, highlighting any irregular heart activity.
The results are then shared with the patient's dctr, allwing fr remte mnitring withut requiring hspital visits. This innvative design culd make diagnsing AF easier and mre accessible, ptentially reducing the risk f strke fr many.
Prfessr Martin Cwie, a cardilgist at Imperial Cllege Lndn, views Cardiskin as an significant develpment in heart health mnitring, ffering a cmfrtable and efficient tl fr early detectin f cardiac prblems.
24. What is the main idea f Paragraph 2?
A. The difficulty in detecting atrial fibrillatin. B The benefit f wearing a Hlter mnitr.
C. The prcess f recrding heart activity. D. The future f develping a new ECG.
25. Why did the authr mentin a Hlter mnitr in the text?
A. T intrduce a way t check the patient's heart. B. T explain why dctrs like using the device.
C. T shw the advantage f a Cardisk in T- shirt ver it.D. T encurage peple t care abut their health.
26. What can we learn abut the Cardisk in T- shirt?
A. It has electrdes placed all ver the T- shirt.
B. It can be wrn a mnth withut being washed.
C. It has a battery that can be charged easily and quickly
D. It can make the prcess f diagnsis timely and cnvenient.
27. What culd be the best title fr the passage?
A. New ECC: an imprtant develpment fr dctrs
B. Hi- tech T- shirt: a gd helper fr detecting strkes
C. Hlter mnitr: a device tracking patients' heart prblems

The male western manager(唐纳雀) lks like a little flame, while females are less shwy, a dust y yellw. In the spring, they prepare t mve thusands f miles t the Muntain West f Central America, flying thrugh grasslands, deserts, and ccasinally, suburban yards.
T fuel them n their lengthy jurney, western tanagers fill up n insects and berries. But as glbal climate change causes spring t start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destinatin after what's knwn as“ green- up”, when flwers begin blming and insects emerge. Accrding t a study published in early March in the jurnal PNAS, this kind f timing mismatch between migrants and their fd surces, which is happening acrss Nrth America, culd have serius cnsequences fr migratry birds’ survival.“ In discussing climate change, we ften fcus n warming,” says Sctt Lss, a c- authr f the study.“ But the length and timing f seasns—— like when winter ends and. spring begins— are sme f the mst dramatic effects f climate change.”
Lss and his clleagues used satellite imagery frm 2002 t 2021 t calculate the average start f spring green- up alng the typical migratin rutes f 150 Nrth American bird species, then cmpared that timing with the current green- up. They fund that spring is indeed beginning earlier alng birds' migratin rutes.“ By cntrary, previus studies have mainly fcused n sngbirds in Eastern Nrth America,” says Mrgan Tingley, an rnithlgist at UCLA,“ but this new investigatin shws that bird species in the West and at different levels f the fd web might be just as vulnerable(脆弱的).”
“ Part f it is knwing which species are vulnerable t varius threats,” Lss says.“ This adds t the knwledge abut vulnerability f a wide range f bird species.” And he hpes that the infrmatin will serve t highlight the urgent need t lwer greenhuse- gas emissins as fast as pssible.“ It's really imprtant, if we can't address climate change immediately, t try t stp habitat lss as much as we can”
28. What may pse a direct threat t western tanagers' survival?
A. The wrsening f glbal warming. B. The duratin f changing seasns.
C. Lss f habitats duce t human activities. D. Decreased access t fd s during migratin.
29. What can we learn abut the new study n birds like western tanagers?
A. It cvers a wider gegraphic range. B. It reveals the decline in bird ppulatins.
C. It centers n the adaptatin f bird species. D. It ensures the existence f a timing mismatch.
30. What des Lss suggest we d t safeguard migratry birds?
A. Lessen the effects f climate change. B. Preserve ecsystems fr bird species.
C. Tackle emissins and habitat lss. D. Expand researches n threats t birds.
31. Where is the text mst likely frm?
A. A scientific jurnal. B. A bird- watching guidebk.
C. A website abut climate change. D. A magazine abut btanical cnservatin.

Lrd Nrman Fster, renwned as ne f the wrld's fremst architects, has devted decades t redefining the cncept f tall buildings.“ What we've dne is create a sense f identify draw n frm real needs,” Fster said.“ It's nt a fashinable idea, but generated frm the realities we were in.” His masterpiece includes icnic structures such
as the HSBC building in Hng Kng. Nw, he's set his sights n Qatar.
Currently nearing cmpletin and set t reach a height f 301 meters, Fster's Lusail Twers are ready t claim the title f Oatar's tallest buildings. Lusail Twers are intended t serve as a center fr Oatar's financial institutins, with fur distinctive blcks, tw standing at 70 stries and tw at 50 stries.
But the cnstructin itself wasn't all plain sailing. T address the unique challenges presented by Oatar's ht climate, Fster's team had t depart frm the materials cmmnly used in skyscrapers in cler cuntries—— part f what Fster called a decades- lng quest t“ reinvent the tall building.” The design cmbines advanced shading with ventilatin (通风), while the twers' surfaces are cated with“ marine- grade” aluminum(铝) that wraps arund the buildings, prtecting the glass frm strng sunlight while maintaining the views and still letting in natural light. Central t the prject are special shading fins(鳍), which nt nly ptimize views and natural lighting fr ccupants but reduce slar radiatin by 70% cmpared t traditinal all- glass twers.
While the twers are ready t becme a recgnizable landmark fr Lusail, Fster believes that a city's skyline reflects what lies beneath the surface. It was crucial t integrate the twers int a“ lw- scale master plan.” They are strategically psitined n tp f a subway line and at the end f a cmmercial avenue linking the waterfrnt t the nearby ftball stadium. Accrding t Fster, the grund features f the plaza will play a significant rle in the bjective f transfrming the area int a lively public space fr the future
32. Accrding t Fster's cncept, what shuld, tall buildings be like?
A. Creative. B. Identical. C. Fashinable. D. Practical.
33. What can we learn abut the Lusail Twers?
A. They will functin as a glbal financial center. B They are expected t be Qartar's tallest building.
C. They are Fster's mst renwned icnic masterpiece. D. They have fur blcks with the same style and height.
34 What was the slutin t the challenges caused by Qatar's ht climate?
A. Replacing the glass with“ marine- grade” aluminum.
B. Cating the twer with an uncnventinal material.
C. Reducing the views and natural lighting with shading fins.
D. Prtecting the glass frm natural light and slar radiatin.
35. What's the gal f“ lw- scale master plan”?
A. T link the waterfrnt t the ftball stadium. B. T create a remarkable plaza fr the citizens.
C. T ffer a dynamic public space fr the future. D. T cnnect a subway and a cmmercial avenue.

A fixed mindset f interest can harm creativity and innvatin. If peple believe they are limited t nly a few particular interests and, in cnsequence, d nt explre ther areas, they may miss seeing imprtant cnnectins acrss different dimensins 36 Thse wh with a grwth mindset are als mre likely t be creative when slving prblems.
37 In June, we published findings frm an interventin that succeeded in that aim. In tw studies invlving mre than 700 first- year liberal arts undergraduates, we began by assessing hw ur participants saw themselves. The majrity held strng interests in the arts, humanities and scial sciences. 38
We then randmly assigned students t either ur interventin r a study skills mdule. Our interventin included reading and reflective writing activities that helped students think abut interests and passins as cultivated rather than as simply fund and fixed. 39 The study skills mdule had a similar set f exercises but with an emphasis n building classic skills, such as time management and active learning.
These students were required t take at least ne math and science curse during their first year. That meantwe culd check hw the interventin may have influenced their perspectives n math and science.
By the end f the year, students wh had received the interventin were mre interested in their required math and science curses than thse wh received the study skills mdule—— and this bst was particularly apparent amng students wh initially reprted that they were nt a“ math- and- science persn”. 40 These students became mre skilled in math and science and grew int interdisciplinary(跨学科的) schlars.
A. S can a grwth mindset f interest be taught?
B. Hw can a grwth mindset f interest be cultivated?
C. Meanwhile, a grwth mindset f interest cmes with many advantages.
D. Mrever, mst reprted that they were nt a“ math- and- science persn”
E. They als earned better grades in curses than thse receiving the study skills mdule.
F. Hwever, a grwth mindset f interest can fuel peple's further explratin t different fields.
G. Fr example, students read an article stating the benefits f viewing interests as develpable.

It was in the bleak midwinter, and the traveling cuple, trudged (费力地走) thrugh the cld night, seeking shelter. The father- t- be scanned the radside fr sme hme, sme inn, sme stable where his struggling cmpanin might rest safely fr the night. He lked ver at her frequently. She labred alng withut cmplaint, her way made heavier by the new life grwing inside her. They needed a warm, dry place safe frm the bitter wind. When her time came, it must nt be ut here alng the radway.
Gus Kiebel, a cunty wildlife fficer, was driving hme frm wrk when he sptted the pair in the flash f his headlights. It was snwing s hard that it was difficult t see, but he culd tell the dgs were wearing cllars and tags. What were they ding ut here n this stretch f wded rad, when it was t cld fr dgs t g utside? Gus parked his truck and apprached the animals. He squatted(蹲下) and stretched ut his hands t the beagles, which made n effrt t escape. He read their tags by his truck's headlights: The female was named Pepper, and the male was Cper. He pulled ut his phne t call the number listed, but it was snwing s hard that his screen blurred.
He placed the dgs in his truck, n the flrbards n the passenger side. By the time he came arund t the driver's side, they had climbed nt the passenger seat and were snuggled(依偎) tgether there. Gus dried his phne, snapped a picture f the pair and sent it t his wife, Katic Kiebcl.
Then he dialed the number frm the dgs' tags. A man answered and immediately grew defensive when Gus tld him why he was calling.“I gave thse dgs away,” the man said.“ They' re nt mine anymre.”
“ Well, d yu want them back?”
“ N. I can't take care f them.” The man hung up.
These beagles were abandned, then. Gus lked ver at them, their large h und eyes pleading. Gus called the cunty dg warden's ffice, but it was after hurs, s he left a message. Then he called Katie.
