I was brn missing my left arm. In 1986, at 18 mnths, I was fitted with a prsthetic (义肢) device, a decisin made by my parents and dctrs s that I wuld develp “nrmally”.
I spent my entire childhd and adlescence trying t fit in. I did just abut anything t ease the pains f the stares and pinting fingers frm my classmates. By the time I was 8, I had n self-cnfidence, and the hand I was wearing was making it harder fr me t fit in. S I decided I was better ff withut ne. I didn’t need anyne t fix me.
T prve that I wasn’t limited by my disability, I develped a lve fr all sprts, in particular swimming. I was selected t my first Australian wmen’s swimming team at age 13 and successfully represented my cuntry fr eight years. I realized I’d made a name fr myself because f my disability.
I taught myself hw t be cmfrtable in a sciety filled with insecurities. S when I was first cntacted in 2021 by Cvvi, a cmpany trying t create the wrld’s mst advanced binic (仿生的) hand, I was a bit surprised. They asked me t trial the hand and, if pssible, t becme a patient advcate. Initially, I said n. Then, curisity gt the better f me.
While I was busy advcating fr disability rights, a new generatin f leaders, like Amy Purdy and Nick Vujicic, used the pwer f technlgy and scial media t display wheelchairs r artificial limbs withut explanatin. Peple feared disability less. Sciety was beginning t see a persn first, and their disability secnd.
Viewing disability thrugh a scial lens als meant acknwledging that a persn is mre disabled by their envirnment and the discriminatin f thers than by their actual disability. As thse cnversatins shifted, I realized that there was an pprtunity t use technlgy t steer the narrative fr future generatins. In July 2022, I decided t trial the hand.
The rle f patient advcate is an enrmus privilege. Thrugh sharing my jurney, I’m able t reach thusands f ther peple wh wuld benefit frm its extrardinary capabilities. That’s why I wear a binic hand—nt because I’m brken, but because I have an pprtunity t enhance the human capabilities that already exist.

brccli
When served cauliflwer r brccli, sme kids turn away in annyance. Dn’t blame them—a new study suggests specific enzymes (酶) in saliva (唾液) might make these vegetables taste terrible t sme children.
These enzymes, called cysteine lyases, are prduced by bacteria in the muth.
The same enzymes are als lcked away in the cells f Brassica vegetables like brccli and cauliflwer. When we chew brccli, these enzymes spill ut f their strage cntainers while thse in ur muth start t wrk.
These enzymes break dwn a cmpund (化合物) called S-methyl-L-cysteine sulfxide (SMCSO) in these vegetables, and this breakdwn prcess transfrms the cmpund int sharp smell mlecules (分子). Previus studies f adults suggest the level f cysteine lyase activity in a persn’s saliva determines hw much the SMCSO breaks dwn. This, in turn, influences hw these vegetables taste t adults.
Accrding t these past studies, when different adults cnsume brccli, there can be a huge difference in hw many unpleasant smells the fd lets ff as their saliva-brne enzymes break it t bits. But the authrs wndered whether the same difference can be seen in kids, wh are usually mre sensitive t bitter and sur tastes. They suspected that kids whse saliva prduced the mst smelly, SMCSO-surced cmpunds wuld shw the strngest dislike fr brccli.
And the team’s new study prved their assumptin. While bth adults’ and kids’ saliva prduced smelly cmpunds when expsed t cauliflwer, these smells did nt influence whether adults liked the vegetable. On the ther hand, kids whse saliva prduced high cncentratins f these smells reprted hating cauliflwer the mst.
The new study included 98 pairs f parents and children aged 6 t 8. After taking samples f each participant’s saliva, the scientists mixed it int raw cauliflwer pwder. They measured the SMCSO-surced smell cmpunds let ff and fund each participant’s saliva generated a different quantity f smells.
Interestingly, the degree f sickly smell prductin was similar between parents’ saliva and their children’s. This indicates that parents and kids likely carry similar bacteria in their muths, which wuld cause them t prduce similar levels f cysteine lyases.
Our senses f taste and smell are strngest in yuth, which may make kids even mre sensitive t these differences in flavr. The same preference pattern is nt seen in adults, wh als prduce plenty f bad smells. This suggests that the adults came t tlerate the taste f Brassica vegetables. The findings agree with past studies f hw ur tastes change ver time: we can learn t vercme ur distaste fr certain fd by eating it mre.
28．What are the first tw paragraphs mainly abut?
A．The functin f muth bacteria.
B．The cause f an unpleasant flavr.
C．The feature f Brassica vegetables.
D．The frm f enzymes in ur muth.
29．What d previus studies indicate?
A．SMCSO-breakdwn depends n varius enzymes.
B．Enzymes determine the taste f Brassica vegetables.
C．Individuals release varying amunts f smell mlecules.
D．Kids prducing the mst smells hate brccli particularly.
30．What can we cnclude frm the passage?
A．We might accept sme fds thrugh repeated expsure.
B．The level f smells may affect an adult’s taste preference.
C．Parents’ and their kids’ saliva-brne enzymes dn’t match.
D．Kids’ saliva culd prduce higher cncentratins f smells.
31．Why des the authr write the passage?
A．T explain a fd preference.
B．T intrduce a research methd.
C．T illustrate a bilgical prcess.
D．T shw the discvery f an enzyme.
D
Last fall, I happened t verhear a student telling the thers he had decided nt t sign up fr an intrductry philsphy (哲学) curse. The demands f his majr, be said seriusly, meant he needed t take “practical” curses, and “enlightenment” wuld simply have t wait. Fr nw, emplyability was the mst imprtant.
The students’ cnversatin fits int a larger alarming wrd abut the rle f the humanities in higher educatin. In a time f dizzying technlgical achievement and f rapid scientific innvatin, sceptics f the humanities may questin the usefulness f studying Aristtle, the Italian Renaissance (文艺复兴) r Chinese fictin.
Actually, I regret nt interrupting that student t argue fr taking that intrductry philsphy curse. I wuld have started by reminding him that, fr much f America’s histry, cllege graduates were nt cnsidered truly educated unless they had mastered philsphy, literature, plitical thery and histry. The key rle f higher educatin was t invite students int the cnversatins abut matters like what it means t be alive and the definitin f justice. Fstering (鼓励) engagement with these subjects is still an essential part f the university’s functin in sciety.
I wuld have als mentined t the student that he was misinfrmed abut the jb market. It is true that many emplyers are lking fr graduates with specialized technical skills, but they als lk fr ther capabilities. As the wrld is transfrmed by artificial intelligence, machine learning and autmatin, the unique human qualities f creativity, imaginatin and mral reasning will be the ultimate cin f the realm. All these skills are develped in humanities curses.
Further, I wuld have argued that while a degree anchred in the sciences is an imprtant precnditin fr many jbs, it is nt the nly rute. Lk n further than the funders f cmpanies such as LinkedIn, Slack and Flickr, wh are amng the many tech businesspersns with degrees in the humanities, and wh credit that training fr their success.
Far frm the widely held belief that humanities majrs have a hard time getting jbs, recent studies shw that thse with humanities degrees are successful in the wrkplace, experiencing lw rates f unemplyment and reprting high levels f jb satisfactin. The rati between average median (中位数) incmes fr humanities degree hlders and thse with business, engineering, and health and medical sciences degrees has been shwn t narrw ver the curse f a career.
The case fr the humanities can als be understd in less transactinal (事务性的) terms and mre as a fundatinal preparatin fr a life well lived. A humanities educatin plays a vital rle in encuraging citizens t lead an examined life. It fsters critical thinking, self-reflectin, empathy and tlerance, the usefulness f which nly becmes mre apparent as ne navigates life’s challenges.
By all means, students shuld take curses they think practical and fllw their interests, but if they als make a pint f studying the literature f the Renaissance, r researching int mdern petry, r even taking intrductry philsphy, we will all benefit.
32．What d the students’ cnversatin shw?
A．Students feel emplyment difficult.
B．Students think philsphy less imprtant.
C．Students find scientific innvatin amazing.
D．Students cnsider university curses unsatisfying.
33．What des the underlined part in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A．Equally applied.B．Highly valued.
C．Strictly assessed.D．Greatly imprved.
34．The authr may agree that humanities___________.
A．prvide great insights int lifeB．prepare students fr graduatin
C．discver students’ artistic abilityD．raise awareness f scial celebrity

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有项为多余选项。
Trnades
Trnades are essentially funnels f air rtating as fast as 300 miles per hur. Of curse, nt all trnades are s dangerus. 35 Such small trnades ccur in many places arund the wrld, even in suthern Taiwan, where several are usually reprted every spring.
It is, hwever, the big trnades that receive the mst attentin. 36 There can be flcks f dead birds drpping ut f the sky, chickens still alive but with all f their feathers gne, pieces f straw stuck in trees. In a 1999 US strm, vilent winds frm ne trnad lifted a church int the air and drpped it nt a huse. In the same strm, a baby was whipped frm its mther’s arms and, miraculusly, fund alive in a nearby tree.
37 Althugh scientists nw knw a great deal abut trnades, they still cannt determine exactly when and where ne will frm. In additin, the path f a trnad can als be impssible t predict. It is unlikely t mve in a straight line, and will ften turn quickly. A trnad might blw dwn a line f huses, then suddenly lift up and leave ne hme unhurt, then tuch back dwn and destry the rest f the line.
T better understand trnades, scientists have develped special heavy-duty vehicles and weather-mnitring equipment that allw them t make clse-up bservatins f these dangerus strms. Radar equipment is put n trucks and driven near a trnad, where it recrds wind speeds and ther weather data. 38
In additin, better cmmunicatin and warning systems are als helping t reduce deaths and injuries in many trnad-prne areas. Radi and televisin warnings as well as sirens help t alert peple t ptential danger. Public awareness is als imprtant. When trnades d ccur, peple must act quickly. They shuld mve immediately t a safe place such as a basement r under a strng stairway and cver themselves with blankets r heavy cats. 39
A．Either big strms r small nes can frm quickly causing damage t sme degree.
B．These bring nt nly death and destructin, but als stries f strange phenmena.
C．Many mre are small strms that frm quickly and disappear, causing little r n damage.
D．A trnad can arrive s unexpectedly that a matter f secnds can mean the difference between life and death.
E．Driving the radar hundreds f miles t chase dwn a trnad is a best jb that can be quite dangerus.
F．What makes trnades s dangerus is nt just their great pwer but als their unpredictable nature.
G．Scientists ften have t drive the radar hundreds f miles t chase dwn a trnad — a jb that can be quite dangerus!

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。
In life, nce n a path, we tend t fllw it, fr better r wrse. What’s sad is that even if it’s the latter, we ften fllw a certain path anyway because we are s used t the way things are that we dn’t even recgnize that they culd be different. Psychlgists call this phenmenn functinal fixedness.
This classic experiment will give yu an idea f hw it wrks — and a sense f whether yu may have fallen int the same trap:
Peple are given a bx f tacks (大头钉) and sme matches and asked t find a way t attach a candle t a wall s that it burns prperly. Typically, the subjects try tacking the candle t the wall r lighting it t fix it with melted wax (石蜡). The tacks are t shrt, and the candle desn’t fasten t the wall. S hw can yu accmplish the task? The successful technique is t use the tack bx as a candle hlder. Yu empty it, tack it t the wall, and stand the candle inside it.
T think f that, yu have t lk beynd the bx’s usual rle as a cntainer just fr tacks and reimagine it serving an entirely new purpse. That is difficult because we all suffer — t ne degree r anther — frm functinal fixedness. The inability t think in new ways affects peple in every crner f sciety. The plitical therist Hannah Arend cined the phrase frzen thughts t describe deeply held ideas that we n lnger questin but shuld. In Arendt’s eyes, the cmplacent reliance n such accepted “truths” als made peple blind t ideas that didn’t fit their wrldview, even when there was ample evidence fr them. Frzen thinking has nthing t d with intelligence, she said, “It can be fund in highly intelligent peple.”
Anther cntext in which frzen thinking can turn truly dangerus is medicine. If yu land in the hspital, it’s natural t want t be treated by the mst experienced physicians n staff. But accrding t a 2014 study in the Jurnal f the American Medical Assciatin (JAMA), yu’d be better ff being treated by the relative nvices.
40．What des “functinal fixedness” mean?
41．Hw is the candle attached t the wall?
42．Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶Frzen thinking is cmmn amng rdinary peple but less fund in thse with high IQ.
Hw can yu avid frzen thughts in yur daily life? (In abut 40 wrds)
