There’s another universe not far from land. It lacks buildings, trees, cars, cellphones and the Internet. Seemingly limitless water extends uninterruptedly in all directions. Civilization goes away, along with any sign of humanity. And it is why I’m really into sailing. I grew up around boats. My father liked sailing and built them. My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio, where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week.

As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham's book, Dove. However, it wasn't until about 20 years ago, well into my adulthood, that I took up sailing in a serious way. I've made voyages in fair stormy and weather, on my own boats and those of my friends, and ranging from nearshore day sails to blue-water passages.

Still, I've made plenty of mistakes. While living in Asia, a sailing friend and I set off across the South China Sea and intended to get to Thailand, only to be pushed by a late-season typhoon that forced us to make landfall in Vietnam, glad to be alive.

Years later, my wife and I lived aboard our 37-foot ship, Symbiosis, while we saved enough to take a two-year leave from our jobs to journey down the U.S. Atlantic coast and through the Bahamas and the Caribbean. We visited many places that never see ships or airplanes and that are nearly impossible to reach anyway other than at the helm(舵柄) of a small boat. But boats are expensive and time-consuming. After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, resolving instead to sail only “other people's boats”. It didn't last, though. A few months ago, we found a good deal on a smaller sailboat—easier to maintain but still capable of some short offshore journeys. I think we'll name her Talisman.

24．What would the author do on summer weekends as a kid?

A．He would help his father build Talisman.

B．He would sail with his father and his sister.

C．He would explore northeast Indiana in a car.

D．He would bring human civilization to sailing.

25．What can we learn about the book Dove?

A．It has something to do with exploring the sea.

B．It was published in National Geographic.

C．It is the most famous work by Graham.

D．It was an inspiration for the author's writing.

26．Why did the author sell his ship Symbiosis?

A．It didn’t function well. B．He couldn’t afford to maintain it.

C．He found a better one to replace it. D．It was damaged seriously during a storm.

27．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?

A．To show his passion for sailing boats.

B．To stress the influence of adventures on him.

C．To discuss the problems of sailing on the sea.

D．To share his success in exploring the world.

Dreams, according to Carl Jung, reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness. In Jungian philosophy, the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives. While Jung’s mystical theories are debatable, he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming. A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways.

This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic (新陈代谢的) systems, let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns, which has long-term consequences on our memory system. One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice couldn’t strengthen memories.

You might think this is just a sleep problem, but dreaming is inseparable from our night-time rest. We sleep in cycles, each lasting about 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM. As the night progresses, REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep (one of the stages of non-REM sleep) decreases. The longer we sleep, the more time we spend in REM, which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning. If we sleep less than seven hours, however, it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM.

The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabiliser. We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly. However, we’re not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂) — dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep, which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM.

We’re paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways. For example, a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep, REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration (整合) of unassociated information. Volunteers that experienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring creative solutions.

Rowan Hooper, the managing editor at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emotional core” appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we do diet and exercise habits.

28．What’s Carl Jung’s view about dreams?

A．They cause chaos. B．They mirror reality.

C．They reveal secrets. D．They damage immunity.

29．What does “this trend” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Insufficient sleep. B．A constant state of dreamlessness.

C．Addiction to electronic products. D．More research on sleep and dreams.

30．What can we learn about REM?

A．REM helps people fight depression.

B．REM can be improved by anti-depressants.

C．REM sleep occurs before non-REM sleep.

D．The brain receives new information during REM sleep.

31．What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．The importance of sleep lies in dreams.

B．The absence of dreams is harmful to human beings.

C．Dreaming patterns are more important than we realise.

D．Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories.

SnotBot is on a mission. The toaster-sized drone(无人机)flies over the open ocean,directly above an unusual whale. On a boat nearby,Andy Rogan smiles with joy. Rogan has been studying whales in his entire career but had never seen this species.

Back in 2011,Lian Pin Koh and Serge Wich,conservation experts,wondered if there might be an easier way to get data of animals in the wild. Wildlife researchers often walk through forests. They may look closely at whales from boats or stay in helicopters to view animals from above. Such trips are usually dangerous. Plus,their noise may scare animals. And helicopters can’t fly very far over the ocean because there’s nowhere to land or refuel.

“We thought,’What if you fly over them with a flying camera?’’says Wich. So they put together a drone from a remote-control model airplane and camera equipment. And it did the trick. On a test flight,the drone caught an image of an orangutan(猩猩)at the top of a very tall tree. The pair realized this was just the beginning of a whole new way of doing conservation work.

Now Wich and his colleagues are building AI that automatically locates and recognizes animals. They call their project Conservation Al. When someone uploads an image or video,the model analyzes the data. Then the model recognizes anything it can. In the future,an AI model could keep watch,instead of forest guards. It could send warnings when seeing doubtful activities..

The team tested this idea in a study in East Africa. Volunteers in Tanzania pretended to be poachers(偷猎者). The researchers made drones fly over the actors at different times of the day. Overall,people looking at the drone images did a better job than the Al model at finding pretend poachers. The model picked out many things that weren’t people at all. But the model found poachers that most people missed. With a little more work, Wich thinks that systems like this will make it easier for conservationists to better protect endangered animals.

32．What can we infer about Conservation AI from the passage?

A．It can replace conservationists’ work. B．It works by studying data first.

C．It can punish the poachers. D．It is fully automated.

33．What is Wich’s attitude to the future of the AI model?

A．Critical. B．Hopeful C．Worried. D．Prejudiced.

34．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Achievements in Wildlife Conservation

B．Major Discoveries of Biological Species

C．AI Study Has Achieved a Breakthrough

D．Flying Robots Protect Endangered Wildlife

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。

Back pain can make it difficult for many people to function in everyday life. ___35___ If you suffer from back pain, read on for four everyday fixes.

Our bodies need adequate movement throughout the day to avoid the stiffness that contributes to aches and pains. If the weather is good, don't hunt for the nearest parking spot; don't take the elevator when you have the option of one or two flights of stairs. When you need to sit for long periods, set a timer to get up every hour and be active for just a few minutes. ___36___

When we overuse our dominant side, we create muscle patterns of weakness and tension that increase pain, especially in our backs. Consider the actions you take repeatedly throughout the day that shift your weight to one side. ___37___ And use your opposite hand every so often for basic activities, such as opening doors.

Psychological stress is a noted risk factor for back pain, according to research. Most mental stress is caused by focusing on the past or future. ___38___ A few minutes a day of mindfulness can go a long way toward minimizing the impact of stress. Additionally, mindfulness practices like tai chi have all shown effectiveness in reducing back pain.

 ___39___ That is, you can create a game plan of daily activities to practice for back health. If your back hurts at the end of the day, don't just decide it was a “bad” day. Ask yourself if you practiced the activities to help you avoid the stress and tension. Taking an active, daily-life approach to maintaining a healthy body is the key to keeping back pain at bay.

A．Switch sides when you carry things.

B．It affects how you move, feel and think.

C．You should learn more about the cause of your pain.

D．Approach the health of your back as a responsibility.

E．So actively being mindful of the present reduces stress.

F．You'd better take a quick break to check in with your breathing.

G．More minutes of movement add up to big health benefits over time.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英语回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。

Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for long periods even if you also exercise regularly could be bad for your health. And it doesn’t matter where the sitting takes place at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it occurs. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.

In an editorial published this week in the British Joumal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define physical activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.

While health officials have issued guidelines recommending minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position. “After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals,” said Ekblom-Bak. She explained that sitting too long slows the metabolism-which affects our ability to regulate blood sugar and blood pressure, and metabolise fat-and may cause weaker muscles and bones.

Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day-but still spend much time sitting-might get more benefits if that exercise was spread across the day, rather than in a single bout (一回).

Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset (抵消) those effects.

“People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits,” Ekblom-Bak said. “But when they are in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible,” she said.

41．What are the possible bad effects of sitting for a long time?

________________

42．What is the next step for the current research on sitting long hours?

43．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.

 Sitting for long periods is bad for your health. However, doing exercise once a day is enough to get rid of the impact of sitting too much.
