The Lin King musical, a beast f a shw captivating US audiences since 1997, has been staged all arund the wrld. Central t its success was Julie Taymr, the theatre, film and pera directr and designer whse unique visin helped the musical spring int life n stage — prving that theatrical versins f Disney mvies culd nt nly be hugely prfitable, but culd d s while being artistically innvative in their wn right.
But when Disney initially apprached her, Taymr hadn't actually seen The Lin King. “I thught, well, why nt, let's g lk at the mvie,” she recalls. “And I was really taken.” The challenge f adapting an epic, wide-screen stry excited her: hw, she recalls wndering, wuld yu put hundreds f African grassland animals n stage?
The answer was by embracing a distinctly theatrical apprach: masks and puppetry (木偶). “I went thrugh every animal: kay, we've gt a giraffe. I'll put the puppet neck n tp f the head f the dancer, but yu' re ging t see the
dancer's face…” remembers Taymr. Her designs allwed the audience t see the mechanics f hw each character is made. “Yu can see Simba's emtin n the actr's face, while a mask n tp f his head reminds yu that this is, in fact, a lin. There is n attempt t hide the human being behind the masks r inside the puppet,” she says, a technique she called the “duble event”.
“I wanted t d what theatre des best,” recalls Taymr. “Film hides the strings: we knw it's fake, but we' re pretending that it's really there. Whereas in the theatre, we will enjy seeing a little puppet f a bat, and a big cean f silk… The audience is nt played dwn t — they' re brught int the game.”
The shw was a hit — and a new kind f musical was brn.
24. What was key t the success f The Lin King musical?
A. Disney's prmtin plan. B. Taymr's creative genius.
C. Disney's mvie technique. D. Taymr's public reputatin.
25. What challenge did Taymr face in adapting The Lin King?
A. Hw t decrate the stage. B. Hw t train varius animals.
C. Hw t present the characters. D. Hw t mirrr the riginal mvie.
26. What can we learn abut the “duble event”?
A. It prvided perfrmers with cnfidence. B. It reduced the danger f animal presence.
C. It helped t distinguish humans frm animals. D. It cmbined animal imagery with actr emtins.
27. What des Taymr appreciate mst abut theatre?
A. Its high-tech stage design. B. Its ever-changing stry line.
C. Its pen and engaging nature. D. Its lyal and appreciative audience.

“Sating frm nw n, t be healthy, I will NOT eat any snacks besides granla bars (燕麦棒),” is what I tld myself yesterday, and yet here I am tday chewing a Chcpie. I’m aware that I’m breaking my wn prmise t myself. Instead f eating this, I shuld be wrking ut r smething. But the thing is, chclate is t gd at this mment fr me t refuse it!
As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratificatin — the desire t experience pleasure r fulfillment withut delaying it fr a future benefit. Essentially, when yu want it, yu get it.
Instant gratificatin is als the exact ppsite f what we’re taught t d-delayed gratificatin: deciding t put ff satisfying ur current want t gain smething better in the future. We’ve all encuntered instant gratificatin befre. Shuld I sleep in r wake up early t wrk ut? When I get hme, shuld I rest and watch TV first r get started n my hmewrk?
All humans have the tendency t seek pleasure and avid pain, which is a basic but fundamental cncept knwn as the pleasure principle. Originally cined by Sigmund Freud, it clearly states that all humans are driven, t sme extent, by pleasure.
Cnstantly seeking quick pleasure may bring subsequent trubles. Hwever pleasant nt ding yur hmewrk may seem pleasant right nw, it nly results in pleasure plagued by guilt and last-minute panicking late at night. An inability t resist instant gratificatin may result in underachieving in the lng term and failure t meet certain gals.
Instant gratificatin, hwever, is nt necessarily a bad thing. Yu dn’t always have t say n t things yu want at that mment, and it’s gd t treat yurself when yu need it. In ther wrds, times where yu “treat yurself” are nly valuable in cmbinatin with delayed gratificatin. While my Chcpie may taste gd nw, it’ll taste even better if I nly eat it after I’ve wrked ut r dne smething healthy.
28. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic?
A. By making a cntrast. B. By giving a definitin. C. By citing a persnal case. D. B y listing detailed prblems.
29. Which f the fllwing is an example f instant gratificatin?
A. Purchasing items regardless f budgets. B. Exercising regularly fr lng-term health.
C. Limiting time n scial media platfrms. D. Finishing hmewrk befre watching TV.
30. What des the underlined wrd “plagued” in paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Reminded. B. Highlighted. C. Intrduced. D. Bthered.
31. What may the authr agree with?
A. Delayed gratificatin is pintless.B. Instant gratificatin shuld be priritized.
C. Enjying the mment brings in endless pleasure. D. Instant treats paired with delayed gratificatin are sweeter.

The scientist’s jb is t figure ut hw the wrld wrks, t “trture (拷问)” nature t reveal her secrets, as the 17th century philspher Francis Bacn described it. But wh are these peple in the lab cats (r sprts jackets, r T-shirts and jeans) and hw d they wrk? It turns ut that there is a gd deal f mystery surrunding the mystery-slvers.
“One f the greatest mysteries is the questin f what it is abut human beings — brains, educatin, culture etc. that makes them capable f ding science at all,” said Clin Allen, a cgnitive scientist at Indiana University.
Tw vital ingredients seem t be necessary t make a scientist: the curisity t seek ut mysteries and the creativity t slve them. “Scientists exhibit a heightened level f curisity,” reads a 2007 reprt n scientific creativity. “They g further and deeper int basic questins shwing a passin fr knwledge fr its wn sake.” Max Planck, ne f the fathers f quantum physics, nce said, the scientist “must have a vivid and intuitive imaginatin, fr new ideas are nt generated by deductin (推论), but by an artistically creative imaginatin.”
But thers disagree with this universal scientific mind. They believe that scientists have special abilities that set them
apart. Discvering these abilities may be hard, Allen thinks, as many scientists will be reluctant t reveal them and wuld prefer t preserve the mystery f creativity, fearing that if it became an bject f study it wuld lse its magic.
But fr Allen, this is all part f a bigger questin f what lies behind anyne’s behavir. “We are nly just beginning t understand hw the characteristics f rganisms, including urselves, aren’t the fixed prducts f either genes r f envirnment r culture, but each f us is the prduct f a cntinual interactive prcess in which we help build the envirnments that in turn shape us,” he said.
“As lng as ur best technlgy fr seeing inside the brain requires subjects t lie nearly mtinless while surrunded by a giant magnet, we’re nly ging t make limited prgress n these questins,” Allen said.
32. Why des the authr mentin Max Planck in paragraph 3?
A. T intrduce a famus scientist. B. T stress the rle f creativity in science.
C. T cmpare different views n science. D. T illustrate what is curisity in science.
33. What d Allen’s wrds in the last tw paragraphs suggest?
A. Human behavir is changeable and unpredictable. B. We are passively influenced by ur genes and culture.
C. Our interactin with the envirnment makes us wh we are. D. Current technlgy has revealed a lt abut human behavir.
34. What is Allen’s attitude t the current study n the human brain?
A. Cautius. B. Indifferent. C. Apprving. D. Pessimistic.
35. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Wh Are The Mystery-slvers B. Scientists Are Nt Brn But Made
C. Great Mystery: What Makes A Scientist D. Slving Mysteries: Inside A Scientist’s Mind

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The desire t learn frm successful individuals is a natural instinct, yet it can lead t significant errrs in judgment due t a phenmenn knwn as “survivrship bias(偏见).” This ccurs when we fcus nly n thse wh have succeeded while ignring thse wh have failed despite having similar features. 36 .
A classic example f survivrship bias can be traced back t Wrld War Ⅱ, when mathematician Abraham Wald was tasked with helping the American military prtect airplanes frm enemy fire. Initially, their plan had been t examine the planes returning frm cmbat (战斗), see where they were hit the wrst and then strengthen thse areas. 37 . The planes that didn't return were thse that had been hit in areas vital t their survival. Thus, the military was at risk f frtifying(加强) parts f the aircraft that culd withstand damage rather than thse that were critical t keeping them in the air.
38 . Fr instance, fitness centers ften shwcase members with quick results, ignring thse wh quit after little prgress. Similarly, cmpanies may tend t cpy the strategies f successful cmpetitrs withut recgnizing the ptential dangers that lead thers t fail. Even in the field f science, publicatin bias can bend understandings. 39 . While tales f billinaires like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg can inspire, they als vershadw the fact that many wh skip higher educatin d nt experience the same success. In the UK, fr instance, graduates have a significantly higher emplyment rate and earning ptential than nn-graduates.
Ultimately, while learning frm success is valuable, it's essential t cnsider the full picture. 40 . By acknwledging survivrship bias, we can make mre infrmed decisins and avid ptential mistakes in ur pursuits.
A. This is the s-called survivrship bias
B. Hwever, the analysis missed a crucial pint
C. Survivrship bias appears in varius aspects f life
D. In s ding, we risk drawing misleading cnclusins
E. Then Wald based the new designs n his mathematical analysis
F. Individuals with greater success and wealth can further strengthen the bias
G. Success can ften be linked t factrs beynd persnal qualities r decisins
